- Synopsis
- This book explores the history of the Holocaust in relation to Latin America. It is estimated that about 100,000 Jewish refugees immigrated to the region between 1933 and 1945. Despite the critical role Latin America played in sheltering Jewish refugees from Nazism, the region has remained largely on the margins of Holocaust studies. The volume adopts a global perspective, examining the Holocaust’s connections to Latin America, both as a region and as a mosaic of distinct national contexts. Structured around three key themes —migration, settlement, and memory— the book not only addresses the immigration policies of Latin American governments but also amplifies the experiences and voices of Jewish survivors who found refuge in this culturally diverse region.
