<em>âThis selection of mostly highly stimulating and well-researched case studies not only gives insight into the diversity of what we think of as the Holocaust, but also a sense of how differently we can go about studying this topic and past social life in general. There is much to be gained, therefore, from reading this collection not selectively, according to oneâs own research interests, but as a whole. In this sense, this is a very effective publication and a great addition to the literature.â</em> <strong>⢠H-Soz-Kult</strong></p>

<em>âThe contributions underline the extra value of microhistory, particularly for the study of relations and interactions between Jews and their non-Jewish fellow citizens. More generally, the volume demonstrates that the traditional tripartite division into victims, perpetrators, and bystanders is at least questionable. In most of the presented microstudies bystanders are absent, if not nonexistent. ⌠The editors' main aim was to show through their collection of microstudies the complexity and diversity of the Holocaust. In this, they have succeeded admirably.â</em> <strong>⢠H-Net Reviews</strong></p>

<em>âThis excellent volume not only displays an admirable thematic and geographic diversity, but also presents a range of interpretations of the methodology known as âmicrohistory.â Together, the chapters provide a refreshing and important look at the genocide against the Jews, illuminating aspects and incidents that must, by definition, be overlooked by macrohistorical studies.â</em> <strong>⢠Jonathan R. Zatlin</strong>, Boston University</p>

<em>âWith historians in many countries turning increasingly to microhistory as an effective way to explore questions of human behavior and historical causation, now is the right time for this collection devoted to the Holocaust. The volume offers broad geographic and thematic coverage, provides examples of a variety of microhistorical approaches, and features the work of established scholars as well as younger colleagues engaged in innovative scholarship.â</em> <strong>⢠Alan E. Steinweis</strong>, University of Vermont</p>
