Abstract

Given the vastness of the Holocaust and the myriad forms of official and popular memorialization, debates persist about the impact of nationalist, ideological, commercial, and popular constructions of Holocaust memory. In this short but rigorously researched, succinct, and illuminating study, Demsky is particularly interested in the way Holocaust memorialization has evolved, from the widely reported confrontation with leading perpetrators at the Nuremberg Trials to its instantiation in the textual and visual turns of American and British popular culture.
