The Stakes of Holocaust Remembrance in the Twenty-First Century
Jelena Subotić is Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University in Atlanta. She is the author of Hijacked Justice and numerous scholarly articles.
Yellow Star, Red Star approaches Holocaust studies from a
post-Communist perspective and is an important contribution to the
historical canon.
*Foreword*
Jelena Subotic has written a fine, compelling and angry book. In
Yellow Star, Red Star, she argues that Holocaust history in
post-Communist countries has been ignored, subverted, adapted,
adopted and misused and, in the two Balkan countries, used as a
prop for creating post-Yugoslav national identities.
*Financial Times*
The complicated politics of memory and commemoration regarding the
Holocaust in post-communist Eastern Europe is the subject of
Suboti's thoughtful analysis... Disturbing in its implications,
this well-written and reasoned work is required reading for those
studying history and memory.
*Choice*
Yellow Star, Red Star is an excellent, in-depth analysis of current
political processes afflicting postcommunist Holocaust memory. It
should be required reading for anyone studying Eastern Europe,
Holocaust memory, and the current rise of ethno-nationalism.
*H-Net:Humanities and Social Sciences*
Yellow Star, Red Star is a scientifically well-grounded work
recommended as a seminal volume, a must read for those with an
interest in Serbian, Croatian, and Lithuanian history.
*Intersections: East European Journal of Society and Politics*
Mrázek's social and anthropological history, together with
Subotić's analysis of the historical and current factors of
Holocaust remembrance has significantly expanded the field of
literature. From the lives of people incarcerated in camps to the
lives of people trapped by mythohistories and competitive
victimhood, Mrázek and Subotić allow readers to walk in the
footsteps and footfalls of history.
*REVIEWS IN HISTORY*
Jelena Subotic's book has earned all the accolades it has so far
received. It is an excellent foundation for a serious discussion
and understanding of the moment we live in.
*Tragovi*
Compellingly argued and written with genuine literary flair, Jelena
Subotić's study is also a call to action, urging us to look more
critically at the ways in which memory can be manipulated to suit
political needs.
*Stray Satellite*
Cronin's biography vividly depicts the colourful career,
penetrating intellect and literary talent which made him one of the
most interesting, if not influential, Russian conservative thinkers
of the nineteenth century.
*Slavonic and East European Review*
Jelena Subotić's second book is a compelling and prescient warning
on the dangers inherent in contemporary political re-framing of
Holocaust memory. Yellow Star, Red Star is bold and necessary.
*Journal of Contemporary History Book*
