More about the book

Exploring the concept of 'deathscape' and 'hopescape' in the context of the Holocaust, this collection of ten essays delves into how language shapes our understanding of this historical atrocity. It examines the effects of site visits, memoirs, survivor testimonies, and artistic expressions on our responses. Lawrence L. Langer addresses the complications arising from inaccurate and sentimental narratives, investigating why such accounts persist in public discourse and their impact on collective memory.
