Reviews
'This study presents a fresh and innovative analysis of the Jewish Councils phenomenon in Western Europe during the Nazi period which has been a delicate and controversial topic since their very establishment. The fascinating detailed and in-depth research turns this book into essential reading for scholars as well as for the broader interested public.' Dan Michman, Bar-Ilan University and Head of the Yad Vashem International Institute for Holocaust Research
'Laurien Vastenhout has written the first major comparative study of the 'Jewish Councils' of Nazi-occupied Western Europe. Deeply researched and nuanced in its judgements of the councils' room for manoeuvre, Between Community and Collaboration is a significant contribution to scholarship which helps us understand the Holocaust as such.' Dan Stone, Royal Holloway, University of London
