By examining cultural production over the past twenty-five years, it identifies emerging lines of enquiry that challenge existing memory models and highlights the dynamics of multidirectional memory, amnesia, engagement, and disengagement with the memory of the Holocaust. Finally, it proposes a re-evaluation of our understanding of survivors and perpetrators, and questions our perception of victims, implicated subjects and bystanders.
