At a time when there may appear to be nothing new to say about the Holocaust, Tim Cole's Holocaust Landscapes is a book of genuine originality and imagination. The theme is the place of the Holocaust. Through concepts such as distance and proximity, Cole tells the story of the Holocaust through a number of landscapes where genocide was implemented, experienced and evaded.These landscapes range from the most iconic (synagogue, ghetto, railroad, camp, attic) to less well known sites (forest, sea and mountain, river, road, the liberated camps), providing a new perspective on the shifting geographies and histories of this continent-wide event.
