In this pathbreaking study sure to set the standard for future works on the topic, Laura Jockusch traces revenge from Nazi antisemitic fantasies to Jewish wartime and postwar responses, culminating in its afterlife on screen. Combining sharp analysis with accessible storytelling, she frames revenge as a central theme in Holocaust history and its popular memory. * Avinoam J. Patt, Professor of Holocaust Studies, New York University, USA *
