Descrizione
This article examines the issue of aestheticization in works dealing with the Holocaust with satire and humour, in particular the play 'Domu u Hitleru'. In this play Goldflam breaks convention and forces his audience to view the Holocaust anew by hiding the victims and accentuating the perpetrators.
