Assesses various literary efforts to establish a place in modern consciousness for the ordeal of those victimised by Nazi Germany's crimes against humanity. These essays discuss the film 'Life is Beautiful', the uncritical acclaim of 'Fragments', reasons for the importance still given to 'Anne Frank's Diary' and a recent cycle of paintings on the Old Testament by Holocaust artist Samuel Bak.
