The Holocaust and the Liberal Imagination A

The Holocaust and the Liberal Imagination attempts to explain and not to condemn the responses and reactions of the democratic world to the attempted destruction of European Jewry. It concentrates on the impact of the Holocaust on ordinary people in the democracies and examines the actions of the nation-state in the light of popular responses. Ultimately this study argues that the Holocaust is not simply German, Jewish or continental history but is an integral but neglected part of the experience of many countries away from the killing fields. It is the first social and cultural history of its subject.

Tony Kushner is Marcus Sieff Lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Southampton. He teaches in the area of race and immigration history and Holocaust studies and has published books on the subject of British antisemitism, Anglo-Jewish history, minority studies, racism and Facism.
