[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
Holocaust survivors are often depicted in historical writing and literature as passive and silent 'others' Their silence ended following the Eichmann trial in 1961. Israeli society and its leaders are singled out for this treatment of survivors - sidelining them and manipulating Holocaust memories for Zionist and Israeli state purposes. Current research is challenging this picture of silence and shows survivors as an active force in early Israeli society.
