In the first fifteen years of the twenty-first century, a large
number of films were produced in Europe, Israel, the United States,
and elsewhere addressing the historical reality and the legacy of
the Holocaust. Contemporary Holocaust cinema exists at the
intersection of national cultural traditions, aesthetic
conventions, and the inner logic of popular forms of entertainment.
It also reacts to developments in both fiction and documentary
films following the innovations of a postmodern aesthetic. With the
number of witnesses to the atrocities of Nazi Germany dwindling,
medialized representations of the Holocaust take on greater
cultural significance. At the same time, visual responses to the
task of keeping memories alive have to readjust their value systems
and reconsider their artistic choices. Both established directors
and a new generation of filmmakers have tackled the ethically
difficult task of finding a visual language to represent the past
that is also relatable to viewers. Both geographical and spatial
principles of Holocaust memory are frequently addressed in original
ways. Another development concentrates on perpetrator figures,
adding questions related to guilt and memory. Covering such diverse
topics, this volume brings together scholars from cultural studies,
literary studies, and film studies. Their analyses of
twenty-first-century Holocaust films venture across national and
linguistic boundaries and make visible various formal and
intertextual relationships within the substantial body of Holocaust
cinema.
