Description

Remaking Holocaust Memory explores how third-generation survivors in Israel are reinterpreting their family's past through documentary films. Liat Steir-Livny examines a range of compelling films that have been screened internationally, but remain under-academic scrutiny. Steir-Livny reveals how these newer films challenge the "absolute truths" presented by earlier documentaries, instead extending debates and posing questions about the nature of Holocaust memory. By investigating cinematic trends and aesthetic choices among third-generation filmmakers, Steir-Livny sheds light on the ways in which their perspectives shape our understanding of the past. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject, providing a comprehensive list of relevant films, festival screenings, and awards.
