This book analyzes sensationalized Nazi and Holocaust representations in Anglo-American cultural and political discourses. Recognizing that this history is increasingly removed from contemporary life, it explains how irreverent representations can help rejuvenate the story for successive generations of new learners. Surveying seventy-five-years of transatlantic activities, the work erects counterposing categorizes of “constructive and destructive memorializing,” providing scholars with a new framework for elucidating both this history and its historicization.

Jeffrey Demsky is an Associate Professor of Political Science at San Bernardino Valley College (USA). His scholarship exists at the intersection of post-World War II western democratic history and Holocaust memorialization.
