Description
Visual representations of the Holocaust have proven to be an absolutely integral but also highly contested means by which to understand and remember the Nazi atrocities of WWII. However in writing about the limits of Holocaust representations there is a warning against transgressing certain intangible boundaries against banalising or distorting the record by means of grossly inadequate representations.
