New Publication: Homecoming. Holocaust Survivors and Greece, 1941–46 by Kateřina Králová (Brandeis University Press, 2025)
The newly published book Homecoming by Kateřina Králová, Professor of Contemporary History at Institute of International Studies (FSS CUNI), explores the rarely discussed history of Jewish survivors returning to post-Holocaust Greece. Released by the renowned Brandeis University Press in 2025, the book sheds light on the struggles, silences, and resilience of those who attempted to rebuild their lives in a hostile postwar environment.
Based on extensive archival research and oral testimonies, Homecoming connects the local with the transnational, offering both historical insight and methodological innovation in Holocaust and memory studies.
