The Holocaust occupies a central place in British society.
References within media and political spheres remain commonplace
and there has been a national Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK
every January since 2000. Remembrance of the Second World War and
the Nazi genocide plays an important role in the creation of social
cohesion and identity in Britain, yet how, exactly, does the
country deal with this difficult period of history? Bringing
together leading academics in the field, this volume explores
Britain's complex relationship with the Holocaust since 1945.
Encompassing representations of the Holocaust within film, art,
public exhibition spaces and official, state-sanctioned
commemoration, this study offers an innovative, interdisciplinary
approach to the subject and highlights some of the latest
developments in research. It examines political, social and
cultural reactions to the Holocaust and contributes to wider
questions as to how war and genocide is recalled in today's
multicultural Britain.
