This book consists of ten essays that examine the ways in which
language has been used to evoke what Lawrence L. Langer calls the
'deathscape' and the 'hopescape' of the Holocaust. The chapters in
this collection probe the diverse impacts that site visits,
memoirs, survivor testimonies, psychological studies, literature
and art have on our response to the atrocities committed by the
Germans during World War II. Langer also considers the
misunderstandings caused by erroneous, embellished and sentimental
accounts of the catastrophe, and explores some reasons why they
continue to enter public and printed discourse with such ease.
