Abstract:
Distinguishes three periods in the shaping of the collective memory of the Holocaust in Israel, which is continuously affected by changes in the Israelis' collective identity as well as by formative economic, political, and sociological processes: 1) The period of the "split memory", which began after World War II, characterized by identification with the sufferings of Holocaust victims, along with criticism of their reactions during the Holocaust, and by the instrumentalization of the Holocaust memory by the Zionist establishment in the struggle for a Jewish state; 2) The period of "nationalized memory", beginning with Eichmann's trial (1961), in which identification with the sufferings of the Holocaust victims dims the Zionist rejection of the Diaspora and its experiences; 3) The period of "privatized memory", beginning in the 1980s, which highlights personal Holocaust experiences, rejects the Holocaust memory imposed by the Zionist establishment, and is part of the post-Zionist and privatization ideologies prevalent in Israel. Discusses historical works by Israelis who have influenced the discourse on the Holocaust and its memory, including those of Yehuda Bauer, Shabtai B. Beit Zvi, Yehuda Elkana, Yosef Grodzinsky, Dina Porat, and Henry Wassermann.
