Reconsidering Photographic Temporality through Piotr Uklański's Nazis
In The Nazis (1998) and its sequel, Real Nazis (2017), the Polish American artist Piotr Uklański creates glossy photographic assemblages of real and fictional Nazis, which critics have generally interpreted by turns as critiquing or participating in the culture industry's fascination with and glamourization of Nazism. However, the formal mechanisms of Uklański's work remain undertheorized. This essay offers a reading of The Nazis and Real Nazis t…
Jason Lutes. Berlin
In 1991, shortly after Art Spiegelman completed his iconic Holocaust history Maus: A Survivor’s Tale, he wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Times Book Review. Because Maus renders Jews as mice and Germans as cats, the Times included it on its fiction best-seller list. Spiegelman objected, emphasizing that the “fiction” label would only serve Holocaust deniers, and he coyly asked the Times to consider adding a “nonfiction/mice” category.…

The era of the expert: Dementia, remembrance, and jurisprudence in Atom Egoyan’s Remember (2015)
Recent trials of elderly Holocaust perpetrators have foregrounded an epistemological problem with consequences for future prosecutions: what status do witness testimonies, survivor memoirs, and blurry photographs have as the Holocaust’s final witnesses die off? This article interprets Atom Egoyan’s Remember (2015), a Holocaust revenge fantasy whose geriatric protagonist suffers from dementia. Dementia becomes a metaphor for memory’s unreliability…
Obituary: Claude Lanzmann
With Claude Lanzmann’s passing at the age of ninety-two on July 5, 2018, the world lost an intellectual and filmmaker whose influence on visual representation of the Holocaust was transformative. Born on November 27, 1925 in the Parisian suburb of Bois-Colombes, Lanzmann belonged to the generation to whose annihilation his films bore witness, even though he lost no members of his immediate family. During the Second World War he balanced the deman…

The Butcher's Tale: Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town
In 1900, in a small country town in the eastern reaches of the German Empire, a German boy is found frozen beneath the ice. He has been brutally murdered, the blood drained from his dismembered body. The crime resembles traditional blood libel accusations against the Jews. When a Jewish butcher is accused of committing the murder, the town explodes in an anti-Semitic fervour. Using vast amounts of previously undiscovered material, Helmut Walser S…
