Reviews

David Herzberger, Department of Hispanic Studies, University of California, Riverside:

"With historical breadth and intellectual depth, specialists in Holocaust studies will see and learn something new from this book; and those for whom the Holocaust in Spain is a largely unexplored, it will serve as a solid and very helpful point of reference."

Daniela Flesler, Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature, Stony Brook University:

"Spain, the Second World War, and the Holocaust is a major contribution to the knowledge about the relationship between Spain, WWII and the Holocaust, a knowledge plagued by myths and half-truths. It is remarkable and commendable that Sara J. Brenneis and Gina Herrmann were able to bring together the work of such an array of renowned scholars from diverse disciplines."
