Description

The Holocaust is everywhere in American cultural consciousness today - in movies, books, theatre, and television, in college courses, museums, and public monuments. This collection of essays presents America's cultural appropriation of this central event in 20th-century history. The authors discuss a range of topics and examples, from "Schindler's List" to Elie Wiesel's throwing out the first pitch at the Mets sesason opener in 1988, from the idealizations of Anne Frank to a cookbook of recipes from survivors of the Terezin concentration camp, from a look at Art Spiegelman's acclaimed comic book "Maus" to a contemporary "faux pas" at the Nike Corporation. While several authors draw directly from the testimony of survivors, this volume as a whole examines how much of our knowledge of the Holocaust comes to us through cultural filters - from editors and publishers, producers and directors, artists and advertising executives. Covering more than 50 years since the end of the Holocaust, this overview spans a variety of critical approaches, media and genres.
