American Public Memory and the Holocaust: Performing Gender, Shifting Orientations - Paperback

by Lisa A. Costello (Author)

This book explores new media and new stories in Holocaust public memory as powerful agents against a rising tide of global intolerance. Arguing that gender is often absent in traditional medial forms of public memory, Costello illustrates how new forms of memorialization shift our orientation toward others and our engagement with the past.
