Holocaust representations in history: an introduction.

How the Holocaust is depicted and memorialized is key to our understanding of the atrocity and its impact. This book examines film, drama, literature, photography, visual art, television, graphic novels, memorials, and video games as major themes and issues that underpin the chronicling of the Holocaust. Each chapter is focused on a critical debate or question in Holocaust history; the case studies range from well-known, commercially successful works about the Holocaust to controversial examples which have drawn accusations of profaning the memory of the genocide. This 2nd edition adds to the mosaic of representation, with new chapters analysing poetry in the wake of the Holocaust and video games from the here and now.
