Description
Framing the Holocaust explores the complex relationship between us and atrocity photographs. In December 1941, German police shot 2,749 Jews in Latvia, resulting in twelve photographs that are both haunting and thought-provoking. This book examines these images, along with others, to provide historical, political, and ethical depth to our understanding of the Holocaust. Scholars from various disciplines investigate the power of photography to convey the atrocities committed during this period. By engaging with these images, we must consider the responsibility that comes with viewing them. The book offers a multidimensional response to the question of why we should look at such disturbing photographs. With a foreword by Edward Anders, who narrowly escaped the December 1941 shooting, Framing the Holocaust contributes to ongoing debates in visual history and the challenges of using photographs to teach about atrocity.
