Despite Adorno's famous dictum, the memory of the Shoah features
prominently in the cultural legacy of the 20th century and beyond.
It has led to a proliferation of works of representation and
re-memorialization which have brought in their wake concerns about
a 'holocaust industry' and banalization. This volume sheds fresh
light on some of the issues, such as the question of silence and
denial, of the formation of contemporary identities - German, East
European, Jewish or Israeli, the consequences of the legacy of the
Shoah for survivors and for the 'second generation,' and the
political, ideological, and professional implications of Shoah
historiography. One of the conclusions to be drawn from this volume
is that the 'Auschwitz code,' invoked in relation to all
'unspeakable' catastrophes, has impoverished our vocabulary; it
does not help us remember the Shoah and its victims, but rather
erases that memory.
