Oxford University Press Inc
Discover the profound history of Theresienstadt (Terezin) in 'The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt'. This in-depth analytical history by Anna Hajkova examines the prison society within the Nazi transit ghetto, exploring how human beings create societies even under extreme circumstances. Challenging notions of Holocaust exceptionalism, Hajkova uses the same analytical tools as for other historical events, revealing how social hierarchies formed and how small differences could determine life or death. Based on extensive archival research and victim testimonies, this transnational history delves into the cultural, social, gender, and organizational aspects of Terezin. It highlights key issues of responsibility, agency, and belonging, showing how prisoners created their own culture, formed bonds, and built families amidst the atrocities. A crucial read for understanding the complexities of the Holocaust and human society in extremis.
