Memory and Narrative Ethics - Holocaust Testimony, Fiction, and Film

This book explores how different forms of narrative maintain and extend our knowledge of the Holocaust at this critical moment in history when the last survivors are passing away. Arguing that it is essential not to forget the historical event of the Holocaust, the book shows that our memory of the Holocaust is increasingly a cultural memory transmitted through, and shaped by, the media - including film and TV series. The verbal narratives and film narratives discussed in this book demonstrate that literature and film can be constructive responses to the ethical challenge of remembering the Holocaust.
