IAS Book Launch: Judenmord. Art and the Holocaust in Post-war Germany

Judenmord, first published in German in 2014, is the first comprehensive study of representations of the Holocaust in Post-war German art. The book presents an innovative and multi-layered perspective on Post-war Holocaust memory by taking into account works by both supporters and opponents of Nazism, and by artists working in both East and West Germany. While discussing how artists worked through their own experiences of the Holocaust, the book also analyses how their works contributed to the culture of memory in both countries. What images of the Jews did artists present to the Germans after the end of the brutal Nazi regime?

Speaker: Kathrin Hoffmann-Curtius

Respondents: Professor Mary Fulbrook (UCL) and Dr Hans C. Hoenes (Leo Baeck Institute London / UCL Dept. of History of Art)
