Description

Product Description Holocaust Memory in the Digital Age explores the nexus of new media and memory practices, raising questions about how advances in digital technologies continue to influence the nature of Holocaust memorialization. Through an in-depth study of the largest and most widely available collection of videotaped interviews with survivors and other witnesses to the Holocaust, the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive, Jeffrey Shandler weighs the possibilities and challenges brought about by digital forms of public memory. The Visual History Archive's holdings are extensive―over 100,000 hours of video, including interviews with over 50,000 individuals―and came about at a time of heightened anxiety about the imminent passing of the generation of Holocaust survivors and other eyewitnesses. Now, the Shoah Foundation's investment in new digital media is instrumental to its commitment to remembering the Holocaust both as a subject of historical importance in its own right and as a paradigmatic moral exhortation against intolerance. Shandler not only considers the Archive as a whole, but also looks closely at individual survivors' stories, focusing on narrative, language, and spectacle to understand how Holocaust remembrance is mediated. Review "Basing his book on extensive study and unfettered analysis of the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive, Shandler studies memory and remembrance through the application and exploitation of digital formats and technologies. This volume belongs in libraries supporting oral historians, practitioners of digital humanities, and Holocaust and genocide studies...Recommended" Author: B. M. Banta Source: Choice "Jeffrey Shandler once again brings his erudite, incisive mind to address the intersections of media, memory, and recent Jewish history and its memorialization. Diving deep into the Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive, Shandler explores the project's mission to provide an invaluable record of those who witnessed the unspeakable, while deploying digital technologies as a bulwark against racism and hate." Author: Faye Ginsburg Source: New York University "In his probing and clear-eyed inquiry into how and what we learn from Holocaust video testimonies, Jeffrey Shandler gives visual history archives of the Holocaust new life in our 'digital age.' A must-read for anyone viewing, teaching, or writing about Holocaust video testimony." Author: James E.
