Vexierbilder des Holocaust
ein Versuch zum historischen Trauma in der Populärkultur
Description:... Discusses Holocaust imagery, or "afterimages of the Holocaust", in horror and science fiction films, mystery series on television, and film versions of superhero comics. Focuses on Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" (1993), Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy" (2004), David S. Goyer's "The Unborn" (2009), and Eli Roth's "Hostel" (2005). Concludes that the above-mentioned genres of popular culture use Holocaust imagery not to make a statement about the genocide of the Jews, but as an icon for contemporary anxieties.
