Abstract:
Since 2001, there has been a remarkable surge in German films depicting narratives set during the period of National Socialism. the Jewish victims are replaced by Germans as the victims of National Socialism. Examines how features presented as ‘Jewish’ are used to position these characters as part of collective in- or outgroups. Analyzes ways in which this development is connected to the resurfacing of antisemitic stereotypes when it comes to explicitly Jewish characters, and how images of ‘other Others’ serve to reinstate positive images of the German national self.
