Críticas:
"An informative survey of the debates occaasioned by the crimes of early 1940." Times Literary Supplement "A fine example of international research collaboration." Russian Review "An important corrective to most recent studies of imperialism, which rarely transcend the national optic." Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research "This book, a rare example of collective scholarship, is more than path-breaking. It manages to move around the furniture in an entire field, that of memory studies, one that is shared by literary scholars, linguists, anthropologists, psychologists, historians and others. This exploration of memory events is essential reading for all students in the social sciences and the humanities." Jay Winter, Yale University "In an exemplary way, this multi-disciplinary in depth case study reconstructs the symbolic legacy of Katyn as a transnational trauma. The book is a unique collective achievement with genuine potential to integrate this key event into European memory." Aleida Assmann, University of Konstanz "The crime of Katyn has bedeviled European memory for decades, and only an ambitious pan-European effort such as this one can reveal every angle of the problem and some of the solutions." Timothy Snyder, Yale University
Reseña del editor:
Katyn - the Soviet massacre of over 21,000 Polish prisoners in 1940 - has come to be remembered as Stalin's emblematic mass murder, an event obscured by one of the most extensive cover-ups in history. This book traces the legacy of Katyn through the interconnected memory cultures of Belarus, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the Baltic States.
