From Empathy to Denial

Arab Responses to the Holocaust

Synopsis
From Empathy to Denial is the first comprehensive study of the broad range of Arab responses to the Holocaust based on years of painstaking historical research. The book explores how Holocaust representations developed after the Second World War by analyzing themes, and case studies, spanning a period of almost seventy years. It shows how these perceptions evolved in the shadow of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Reviews

"Much has been and still is being written about the Holocaust. This book however, is not simply "another book" on this subject. It is "something else" in so far as it deals with and analyzes the reactions and clashes with this topic in the Muslim-Arabic area. The tension curve of the reactions ranges from empathy to denial, no nuance is excluded in between. The sources on which the authors are based are manifold: archival material, newspapers and magazines of all kinds, newsletters, essays, internet contributions and books in various languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, English, French and more." - JUDAICA Vol. 73-1, by Tirza Lemberger, April 2017 (German)
