From 2000 to 2020, archaeologists conducted e xtensive research at the site of the former Nazi death camp Sobibor, marking the most comprehensive excavations at a Holocaust site to date. They traced the exact locations where historical events had taken place and unearthed tens of thousands of artifacts. The research generated an ‘archaeological momentum,’ bringing a challenging past directly into the present and triggering a multitude of social, political, memory, and heritage processes. In this edited volume, an interdisciplinary group of archaeologists, historians, museologists, and heritage researchers critically examine these developments.
