Summary/Abstract: The review examines an English language collaborative publication “Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction. Works and Contexts” (2021). The reviewer explores the basic threads of the book and discusses its place against the background of other recent academic publications about the Holocaust literature in Central and Central-Eastern Europe. Essential role in the article is played by an analysis of methodological framework of the volume and the functionality of its structure in reference to the models of an encyclopaedia, lexicon, or dictionary.
