| Description: |
This text considers the increasing number of works that claim to give us access to the Holocaust, asking for whom these images are intended and how effective they are in promoting rememberance and understanding. Essays come from a group of international scholars from a broad range of disciplines. |
| Synopsis: |
A book that looks at both the traditional and the unconventional ways in which the holocaust has been visually represented. The purpose of this volume is to enhance our understanding of the visual representation of the Holocaust - in films, television, photographs, art and museum installations and cultural artifacts - and to examine the ways in which these have shaped our consciousness. The areas covered include the Eichman Trial as covered on American television, the impact of Schindler's List, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Isreali Heritage Museums, Women and Holocaust Photography, Internet Holocaust sites and tattoos and shrunken heads, the bodies of the dead and of the survivors. |
