Curated exhibits, documentaries and scholarly research, smartphone photos, short videos and online texts act as windows into the popular consciousness. They document how everyday people make sense of the crime of genocide, presenting unique challenges to historians. Does participatory media create a different understanding of genocide than more traditional forms of writing? How does expertise manifest in the digital public sphere? Do \u003ci\u003eYouTube\u003c\/i\u003e tourist videos and concentration camp selfies undermine the seriousness of the Holocaust and Holocaust studies by extension? \u003ci\u003eHolocaust Memory in the Digital Mediascape\u003c\/i\u003e provides valuable answers to these questions and much more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book comes with a range of helpful images and it also analyzes the way vernacular memory around the Holocaust and postwar reckoning and reconciliation is mobilized as well as contested in the digital sphere. It is an important volume for all scholars and students of the Holocaust, its history and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer V.
