Landscapes of Holocaust Postmemory

<p>How do the spaces of the past stay with us through representations—whether literary or photographic? How has the Holocaust registered in our increasingly globally connected consciousness? What does it mean that this European event is often used as an interpretive or representational touchstone for genocides and traumas globally? In this interdisciplinary study Kaplan asks and attempts to answer these questions by looking at historically and geographically diverse spaces photographs and texts concerned with the physical and/or mental landscape of the Holocaust and its transformations from the postwar period to the early twenty-first century. Examining the intersections of landscape postmemory and trauma Kaplan's text offers a significant contribution to our understanding of the spatial visual and literary reach of the Holocaust.</p>
