Ner Ot: The Memorial Candle as Symbol in the Art of Samuel Bak.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.The Holocaust and its Contexts,2731-572XWorld War, 1939-1945HistoriographyHistoryMethodologyIntellectual lifeHistoryCollective memoryHistory of World War II and the HolocaustHistoriography and MethodIntellectual HistoryMemory StudiesWorld War, 1939-1945.Historiography.HistoryMethodology.Intellectual lifeHistory.Collective memory.History of World War II and the Holocaust.Historiography and Method.Intellectual History.Memory Studies.940.5318072Langer Lawrence L.464902MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483285803321The afterdeath of the Holocaust2850992UNINABOOK
