The ways in which memories of the Holocaust have been communicated,
represented and used have changed dramatically over the years. From
such memories being neglected and silenced in most of Europe until
the 1970s, each country has subsequently gone through a process of
cultural, political and pedagogical awareness-rising. This
culminated in the 'Stockholm conference on Holocaust commemoration'
in 2000, which resulted in the constitution of a task force
dedicated to transmitting and teaching knowledge and awareness
about the Holocaust on a global scale. The silence surrounding
private memories of the Holocaust has also been challenged in many
families. What are the catalysts that trigger a change from silence
to discussion of the Holocaust? What happens when we talk its
invisibility away? How are memories of the Holocaust reflected in
different social environments? Who asks questions about memories of
the Holocaust, and which answers do they find, at which point in
time and from which past and present positions related to their
societies and to the phenomenon in question? This book highlights
the contexts in which such questions are asked. By introducing the
concept of 'active memory', this book contributes to recent
developments in memory studies, where memory is increasingly viewed
not in isolation but as a dynamic and relational part of human
lives.
