"Can the story be told?" Jorge Semprun asked after his liberation
from Buchenwald. The question is addressed from many angles in this
volume of essays on teaching about the Holocaust. In their
introduction, Marianne Hirsch and Irene Kacandes argue that
Semprun's question is as vital now, and as difficult and complex,
as it was for the survivors in 1945. The thirty-eight contributors
to Teaching the Representation of the Holocaust come from various
disciplines (history, literary criticism, psychology, film studies)
and address a wide range of issues pertinent to the teaching of a
subject that many teachers and students feel is an essential part
of a liberal arts education. This volume offers approaches to such
works as Jurek Becker's Jacob the Liar, Roberto Benigni's Life Is
Beautiful, Anne Frank's diary, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's Hitler's
Willing Executioners, Claude Lanzmann's Shoah, Primo Levi's
Survival in Auschwitz, Cynthia Ozick's The Shawl, Dan Pagis's
"Written in Pencil in the Sealed Railway Car," Art Spiegelman's
Maus, Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List, Elie Wiesel's Night, and
Abraham Yehoshua's Mr. Mani. To the challenge "How do we transmit
so hurtful an image of our own species without killing hope and
breeding indifference?" posed by Geoffrey Hartman in this volume,
the editors respond, "Only in the very human context of classroom
interaction can we hope to avoid either false redemption of
unending despair."
