Descripción
The mass murder of European Jews during the Second World War is perceived as the epitome of evil and inhumanity. It seems that laughter and comedy are not suitable elements to depict the tragic essence of this historical phenomenon. This article seeks to answer the questions as to what extent comedy and humour are permissable in works that depict the Holocaust. Discusses "Life with a star", "The Menorah" and "The shop on Main street"
