Representations of the Holocaust II: Remembrance
CTMP3322.03W
This class focuses on memoirs and literary accounts of the Holocaust written several decades after the war, as well as on contemporary debates about the nature of Holocaust memory.
DESCRIPTION
Of special interest are accounts of child survivors of the Holocaust and the struggle of survivors’ children to reckon with the burden of their parents’ past. We will evaluate the ideal of individual moral responsibility postulated by these texts and consider the recent commercialization of the Holocaust in literature and film. Finally, we will look at the current phenomenon of Holocaust denial, with emphasis on anti-Semitism and white supremacy movements in Canada. The class includes excerpts from films, documentaries, and other video-taped material, and illustrated lectures on Holocaust art.
