Remembering to Forget Holocaust Memory Through the Camera's Eye
- List Price: $37.00

Prior to the Holocaust, news reporters primarily told their stories in words, using photographs almost as an after-thought. When the camps were liberated, however, journalists and reporters turned to photography to bear witness to the unspeakable and indescribable scenes of the dead and dying. Through this process, Zelizer argues, photographs earned a new legitimacy as tools of reporting. She shows how, since the end of the war, the use of "atrocity photos" has fallen into patterns -- or waves of memory, as she names them -- determined by the different roles that the photos occupy in the public imagination. Most recently, for example, the images from Bosnia hark back to the Holocaust imagery, an echo that can actually dilute our response to what happened both then and now.
Remembering to Forget is an impressive study in its range and depth. It is, at the same time, a history of contemporary photojournalism, a compelling chronicle of these unforgettable photographs, and a fascinating look at howcollective memory is forged and changed.
