Holocaust symbols: the shapes of memory -- Different trains: Holocaust artifacts and the ideologies of remembrance -- Thresholds of initiation: Arbeit macht frei -- From innocence to experience: an icon comes of age -- Anne Frank as a literary icon ; Anne Frank as visual icon -- The Holocaust as an iconic number: six million -- Looking again at Holocaust icons.
The Holocaust has bequeathed to contemporary society a cultural lexicon of intensely powerful symbols, a vocabulary of remembrance that we draw on to comprehend the otherwise incomprehensible horror of the Shoah. Engagingly written and illustrated with more than forty black-and-white images, Holocaust Icons probes the history and memory of four of these symbolic relics left in the Holocaust's wake.--publisher's website.
