Contemporary Holocaust cinema exists at the intersection of national cultural traditions, aesthetic conventions, and the inner logic of popular forms of entertainment. It also reacts to developments in both fiction and documentary films following the innovations of a postmodern aesthetic.

At the same time, visual responses to the task of keeping memories alive have to readjust their value systems and reconsider their artistic choices.
