The first multidisciplinary study of its kind, Breaking Crystal examines how members of the post-Holocaust generation in Israel and the United States confront through their own imagination a traumatic event they have not directly experienced.
Among the questions this groundbreaking work raises are: Whose memory is it? What will the collective memory of the Holocaust be in the twenty-first century, after the last survivors have given testimony? How in the aftermath of the Holocaust do we read and write literature and history? How is the memory inscribed in film and art? Is the appropriation of the Holocaust to political agendas desecration of the six million? What will the children of survivors pass on to the next generation?
An international group of leading scholars offers new insights into the most controversial questions in literary theory and education today in this innovative collection, sure to be of interest to scholars in history, literature, cultural studies, psychology, film, and Jewish studies. For eveyone struggling to understand—for everyone who knows we must never forget.
