More about the book
The essays in this collection delve into how language shapes our understanding of the Holocaust's 'deathscape' and 'hopescape.' By analyzing site visits, memoirs, survivor testimonies, and artistic representations, the chapters explore the profound effects these narratives have on our perception of historical atrocities. Langer addresses the pitfalls of embellished and sentimentalized accounts, examining why such misunderstandings persist in public discourse, ultimately inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of memory and representation in the context of trauma.
