Reviews

[The] book raises interesting questions on the uses and abuses of testimonies and the retelling of stories in the service of constructing postwar public narratives and memory. In this respect, British POWs and the Holocaust is recommended to anyone interested in the public history of British POWs in the Second World War and the question of witnessing the Holocaust. * H-War *

'Conventional wisdom asserted that POWs were usually deprived of outside information, and as such the most common experience was boredom brought on by intellectual isolation. By using recent Holocaust historiography, Wallis (independent historian) is able to challenge that conventional wisdom... Recommended. General and specialized collections, all levels.'--CHOICE
