The Holocaust as Active Memory (eBook, ePUB)

The Past in the Present
Redaktion: Seeberg, Marie Louise; Lenz, Claudia; Levin, Irene

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What are the catalysts that trigger a change from silence to discussion of the Holocaust? What happens when we talk its invisibility away? How are memories of the Holocaust reflected in different social environments? Who asks questions about memories of the Holocaust, and which answers do they find, at which point in time and from which past and present positions related to their societies and to the phenomenon in question? This book highlights the contexts in which such questions are asked. By introducing the concept of 'active memory', this book contributes to recent developments in memory studies, where memory is increasingly viewed not in isolation but as a dynamic and relational part of human lives.
