Monika Vrzgulová (2016): The untold neighbours’ stories the holocaust in Slovakia from two perspectives (nevyrozprávané susedské́ histórie: holokaust na Slovensku z dvoch perspektív)

Abstract

Since the 1990s, Monika Vrzgulová has been the active personification of the combination of the method of oral history with the topic of the Holocaust in Slovak society. The publication under review, “Untold Neighbourhood Stories: The Holocaust in Slovakia from Two Perspectives” combines the author’s knowledge obtained through long-term research into this issue on two levels: that of remembrance parallelism, and that of observing parallel worlds in contemporary Slovak society (where Jews and non-Jews are just one of the examples) which are reflected in the so-called policy of remembrance.
