Britain and the Holocaust – Remembering and Representing War & Genocide: The Impact of WWII & the Holocaust on Today’s Britain
This interdisciplinary colloquium aims to engage in recent research on Britain’s reactions to the Second World War and the Holocaust during and after the ‘Third Reich’. It will focus mainly on questions of memory, remembering, and representation and its implications for today’s Britain. Papers presented will address how individuals and collectives as well as Britain as a whole has reacted, memorised and come to terms with the Second World War and the Holocaust, and what impact the Holocaust still has on every day live. Main areas of discussion will be commemorations, film and television, exhibitions and Jewish communities.
