Session Submission Type: Panel
Our knowledge of the Holocaust draws on visual and verbal texts ranging from photos to testimonies to artwork to literature. In these texts, the borders between the documentary and the fictional often merge. Considering sketches of military artists and documentary photoshoots, letters, short stories, and novels, this panel explores the role and function of seeing across different Holocaust texts. Panelists will also analyze ethical challenges and ideological contexts of depicting and representing Holocaust in the USSR.
