  Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt"</p><p><strong>Abstract
 :</strong> Terezín\, as it was known in Czech\, or Theresienstadt as it was
  known in German\, was operated by the Nazis between November 1941 and May 
 1945 as a transit ghetto for Central and Western European Jews before their
  deportation for murder in the East. Terezín was the last ghetto to be libe
 rated\, one day after the end of World War II. <a href="https://global.oup.
 com/academic/product/the-last-ghetto-9780190051778?cc=ca&lang=en&">The Last
  Ghetto</a> is the first in-depth analytical history of a prison society du
 ring the Holocaust. Challenging conventional claims of Holocaust exceptiona
 lism\, Hájková insists instead that we ought to view the Holocaust with the
  same analytical tools as other historical events. The Last Ghetto is a tra
 nsnational\, cultural\, social\, gender\, and organisational history of Ter
 ezín\, revealing how human society works in extremis and highlighting the k
 ey issues of responsibility\, agency and its boundaries\, and belonging.</p
