Description
Contains papers presented at an IHRA conference on killing sites. More than 2 million Jews were killed by shooting during the Holocaust at several thousand mass killing sites across Europe. Organisations and individuals in many countries have devoted themselves to identifying these sites - researching them, telling their stories, preserving their memory and developing educational material relating to a number of them. The contents include historiography and Nazi killing sites; the attempt to erase traces of mass murder; forensic and archeological approaches to Holocaust sites; Jewish law and exhumation; international projects and regional perspectives.
