This book makes an important contribution to the long overdue analysis of the role of translation and translators in mediating the Holocaust. The contributors cover a wide range of genres and provide genuinely new insights into both Holocaust Studies and Translation Studies. The structure of the book, in which each chapter is followed by a short response from a Translation Studies scholar, opens up challenging questions of an epistemological and ethical nature and unlocks the potential for a productive dialogue between the two disciplines. A most welcome and thought-provoking volume.
