His suggestion to connect ‘the policies of the perpetrators, the attitudes of surrounding society, and the world of the victims’ provides the inspiration for this volume. Following in these footsteps, this innovative study approaches Holocaust history through a combination of macro analysis with micro studies. Featuring a range of contemporary research from emerging scholars in the field, this peer-reviewed volume provides detailed engagement with a variety of historical sources, such as documents, artifacts, photos, or text passages. The contributors investigate particular aspects of sound, materiality, space and social perceptions to provide a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, which have often been overlooked or generalised in previous historical research. Yet, as we approach an era of no first hand witnesses, this multidisciplinary, micro-historical approach remains a fundamental aspect of Holocaust research, and can provide a theoretical framework for future studies.

The camp was shut down in 1943 after a prisoner uprising. In postwar memory discourses of the Holocaust, public awareness of Sobibór remained comparatively less than that of other sites of killing in Poland. This paper aims to provide an overview of the impact that the initial postwar treatment of the site had on the public awareness of Sobibór, whilst following the earlier stages of commemoration at the site, and how these developments reflect the wider debates of Polish Holocaust memory. It seeks to highlight the success of the most recent archaeological excavations which began in 2007, and the 2013 plans for a new museum and memorial.
