Abstract

The article discusses the recent surge of World War II dramas on television, particularly those centered around the Holocaust. The author argues that many of these dramas fail to provide new insights or political context, instead relying on repetitive imagery and simplistic moral narratives. The author suggests that for Holocaust dramas to be meaningful and relevant, they should engage with complex questions about Jewish identity, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the lessons to be learned from history. The article calls for more thoughtful and politically aware representations of the Holocaust on television. [Extracted from the article]
