<em>â</em>Concentrationary Art <em>is invariably intellectually exhilarating to read, and is hard to put down. It puts forward a new and cogent aesthetic theory in its analysis not only of the wartime âconcentrationaryâ, but also of the role of the survivor in a post-war world where traces of the same phenomena persist unseen in the everyday.â</em> <strong>⢠Sue Vice</strong>, University of Sheffield</p>

<em>âThis is an authoritative, clear, and insightful book. The contributions to this excellent volume offer a novel take on the concentrationary and provide a wider understanding of post-Holocaust art.â</em> <strong>⢠Kathryn Robson</strong>, Newcastle University</p>
