Genocide, the Holocaust and Israel-Palestine: First-Person History in Times of Crisis by Professor Omer Bartov is a deeply moving and intellectually rigorous examination of some of the most challenging chapters in modern history. Published by Bloomsbury in 2024, this book offers a unique perspective by centering on “first-person history”—the lived experiences of those caught in the crosshairs of extreme violence and systemic crisis.

Professor Bartov, a world-renowned historian of the Holocaust and ethnic cleansing, bridges the gap between scholarly research and human narrative. This paperback edition explores how the memory of the Holocaust continues to shape the political and social landscape of the Israel-Palestine conflict. By analyzing diaries, letters, and testimonies, Bartov uncovers how individuals navigate identity and survival when faced with genocide and state-sponsored persecution.
