About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the geographies of the Holocaust at every scale of human experience, from the European continent to the experiences of individual human bodies. Built on six innovative case studies, it brings together historians and geographers to interrogate the places and spaces of the genocide. The cases encompass the landscapes of particular places (the killing zones in the East, deportations from sites in Italy, the camps of Auschwitz, the ghettos of Budapest) and the intimate spaces of bodies on evacuation marches. Geographies of the Holocaust puts forward models and a research agenda for different ways of visualizing and thinking about the Holocaust by examining the spaces and places where it was enacted and experienced.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. If you've changed your mind about a book that you've ordered, please use the Ask bookseller a question link to contact us and we'll respond within 4 business days.

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 6 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may request extra shipping charges. We usually use US "Media" Mail as it is much cheaper than UPS although we will follow any specific instructions. NOTE: The US postal service regrettably does not offer surface mail. Therefore the average book [weighing more than 1 lb.] will cost $24-$39 for postage abroad (a bit less for Canada) depending on the country. It's an outrageous amount but we are at the mercy of the USPS. Federal Express and DHL are twice as much.
