Analyzes the ways in which artists born after the Holocaust - whom she calls secondary witnesses - represent a history they did not experience first hand.She demonstrates that contemporary artists confront these atrocities in order to bear witness not to the Holocaust directly, but to its "memory effects" and to the implications of those effects for the present and future
