More about the book
Exploring the influence of collective memory, this book investigates how the Holocaust has shaped contemporary human rights discourse in a globalized context. Levy and Sznaider argue that the de-contextualization of Holocaust memories has fostered a global consensus on human rights, linking historical atrocities to modern injustices like ethnic cleansing and genocide. The authors illustrate how representations of the Holocaust informed international responses to conflicts in the Balkans during the 1990s, highlighting their impact on transitional justice and reparations.
