The Holocaust: A Guide to Europe's Sites, Memorials and Museums
Rosie Whitehouse
How does Europe remember the Holocaust? What will the traveller who goes in search of the Holocaust learn? How can Holocaust museums and memorials teach us not just about the past but the present? How does Holocaust tourism empower
Europe's Jewish communities?
Rosie Whitehouse studied International History at the London School of Economics and took up a career at the BBC World Service. As a researcher, she has extensively documented the experience of Holocaust survivors in Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War. She has reported on remembrance efforts and assaults on Holocaust memory in
Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom.
Her historical research and profiles of Holocaust Survivors have been published by The Observer, The Jewish Chronicle, BBC News and Tablet magazine. Meanwhile, her writing about British government policy toward victims after the Holocaust and contemporary
British antisemitism has appeared in The Independent and Haaretz.
Rosie has spoken to us before about her powerful, empathetic books The People of the Beach and Two Sisters. Today she will focus on the purpose and value of herwork for the recently-published Bradt Guide The
Holocaust: A Guide to Europe's Sites, Memorials and Museums.
