The organisers are seeking submissions for an edited volume devoted to the intersections among Spain, World War II and the Holocaust. This collection of essays will be the first comprehensive historical and cultural study of Spain’s unique relationship to the Holocaust and Nazi genocide. The volume seeks to bring together contributions from leading scholars from the fields of history, literary studies, sociology, film, and visual arts in order to provide a long-overdue multi-faceted analysis of a significant piece of Holocaust history that still remains outside the various disciplines that engage with European fascism.
