Abstract:
This introduction to the issue establishes the overlapping theoretical and historical context for the contributions to follow, including the enduring ideological separation of Holocaust memory in the European East and West and increased scholarly attention paid to issues of memorialization and colonialism within Holocaust studies. By attending to specific case studies of Central and Eastern European Holocaust literature, film, music, and memorials, the contributors to this issue illuminate memory cultures in the region that variously complicate – and at times overtly challenge – local state-sponsored revisionism of the Holocaust on the one hand, and the colonizing gaze of the West on the other.
