Reporting the Holocaust in the British, Swedish and Finnish Press, 1945-50

Examining how the press in Britain, Sweden and Finland responded to the Holocaust immediately after the Second World War, Holmila offers new insights into the challenge posed by the Holocaust for liberal democracies by looking at the reporting of the liberation of the camps, the Nuremberg trial and the Jewish immigration to Palestine.

Antero Holmila is Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Jyvskyl, Finland. His other books include the first in-depth textbook about the Holocaust written in Finnish, Holokausti. Tapahtumatja Tulkinnat, and an edited volume on the Winter War and the world's press - Talvisota muiden silmin. Maailman lehdist ja Suomen taistelu.
