Reviews
In engaging prose, Magilow and Silverman show that influential works on the Holocaust were shaped by the historical moment in which they were produced. Their lesson is an important one: what we know of this horrific event is mediated by present concerns and so evolves with time and, once taken to heart, you'll never read these canonical and controversial texts the same way. * Lisa Leff, Professor of History, American University, USA *
This book is an excellent interdisciplinary statement on the narrative challenges of the Holocaust to art, film, literature and memorialisation. A must-use text of close readings for teachers and students alike. * Simone Gigliotti, Senior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies, Royal Holloway University of London, UK *
