'With this book, Andy Pearce provides the necessary and long overdue update to Tony Kushner’s seminal research on the place of the Holocaust in British culture. This new study is very welcome, because in the last twenty years Britain’s engagement with the Holocaust has grown considerably.. Andy Pearce’s work will play a major role in shaping scholarly debates on the place of the Holocaust in British memory culture.'-Emiliano Perra, University of Winchester
