Descripción
This essay delineates the move from one commemorative paradigm - the concentration camp- to the extermination camp in western Holocaust memory. The essay highlights the rhetorical figure of synecdoche,(in which the part stands for the whole) that structured public memories and defined which aspects of the past came into public view and which remained excluded from it
