| Description: |
Focusing on films, works of fiction, memorials and museums, National Responses to the Holocaust opens up new ways of thinking about how different nations including Lithuania, Poland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, the United States and Israel have responded to the Holocaust during the past 60 years. |
| Synopsis: |
The Holocaust is an international event, its the brutal crimes happened in specific places and are remembered, to a large degree, in various national discourses. The essays in this book examine the complex and often ambiguous relationship between national identity and the legacy of the Holocaust in countries including Lithuania, Poland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, the United States, and Israel. Specificity about place and national context matters very much when we talk and write about the Holocaust, and this book takes up important questions about the relationship between the traumatic past and our sense of place, language, and cultural or political identity in the post-Holocaust world. |
