The Holocaust and Representations of Jews examines how prominent
national exhibitions in Europe represent the Jewish minority and
its cultural and religious self-understandings, historically and
today, in particular in the context of the Holocaust. Insights from
the New Museology are brought to the field of Jewish Studies
through an exploration of the visual representation of Jewish
history and Jewish identifications in the display of photographs.
Drawing on case studies which focus on the Holocaust Exhibition at
the Imperial War Museum in London and the permanent exhibition at
the Jewish Museum Berlin, these themes become the prism through
which aspects of historiography and the display of the 'otherness'
of minorities are addressed. Casting new light on the issues
surrounding the visual representation of Jews, the work of museum
practitioners in relation to historical presentations and to the
use of photographs in exhibitions, this book is an important
contribution not only to the fields of Jewish Studies, Religion and
History, but also to the study of the representation of
minority-majority relations and the understanding of exhibition
visits as an educational tool.
