Description

Does humour have a legitimate place in considering the Holocaust? It is here suggested that it does. The author cites the film Life is Beautiful, such so-called artworks as the Dutch viewer-interactive travelling installation Your Colouring Book, and the 'educational' toy Correcting Device: Lego. It is significant that all such works have been created by those born since the Holocaust. However, the author argues that "humour encourages critical engagement and thus a self-conscious subject position."
