Childhood during War and Genocide Agency, Survival, and Representation

»Die große Stärke des Bandes liegt darin, die Sichtverengungen der nationalgeschichtlichen Forschung aufzubrechen und Kinderperspektiven auf Krieg und Genozid ebenso fundiert wie anschaulich auszuleuchten.«
(Markus Raasch, ZFG 72, 2024)
»Die Beiträge verdeutlichen eindrucksvoll das Potential für die historische Genozid- und Konfliktforschung.«
(Max Gawlich, Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas, 2025 (Bd. 73))
