Haunted Laughter addresses whether it is appropriate to use comedy
as a literary form to depict Adolf Hitler, The Third Reich, and the
Holocaust. Guided by existing theories of comedy and memory and
through a comprehensive examination of comedic film and television
productions, from the United States, Israel, and Europe, Jonathan
Friedman proposes a model and a set of criteria to evaluate the
effectiveness of comedy as a means of representation. These
criteria include depth of purpose, relevance to the times, and
originality of form and content. Friedman concludes that comedies
can be effective if they provide relevant information about life
and death in the past, present, or future; break new ground; and
serve a purpose or multiple purposes-capturing the dynamic of the
Nazi system of oppression, empowering or healing victims, serving
as a warning for the future, or keeping those who can never grasp
the real horror of genocide from losing perspective.
