Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- Introduction -- 1 From Muselmann to The Walking Dead: Holocaust Imagery in the Zombie Genre -- 2 Silent Screams: Representing Trauma and Grief in The Pawnbroker and The Leftovers -- 3 Nazi Monsters and the Return of History -- 4 The View from Hell: Demons, Antichrists, and the Persistence of Evil after the Holocaust -- 5 "A World That Works": Astrofascism across Time and Space -- 6 "All of This Has Happened Before": Cyborgs, Humans, and the Question of Genocide -- Conclusion -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index -- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Summary: Planet Auschwitz explores the diverse ways in which the Holocaust influences and shapes science fiction and horror film and television by focusing on notable contributions from the last fifty years. The supernatural and extraterrestrial are rich and complex spaces with which to examine important Holocaust themes - trauma, guilt, grief, ideological fervor and perversion, industrialized killing, and the dangerous afterlife of Nazism after World War II. Planet Auschwitz explores why the Holocaust continues to set the standard for horror in the modern era and asks if the Holocaust is imaginable here on Earth, at least by those who perpetrated it, why not in a galaxy far, far away? The pervasive use of Holocaust imagery and plotlines in horror and science fiction reflects both our preoccupation with its enduring trauma and our persistent need to "work through" its many legacies.
