  • Holocaust

    Edward T LinenthalARTICLEJournal of American History2017

    Deborah E. Lipstadt follows her compelling book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier (2005) with this articulate and efficient text—a volume in the Rutgers University Press Key Words in Jewish Studies series. This is a very good book for undergraduate courses on the Holocaust in American culture. I think that the plural “understandings” would work even better in the subtitle, for, as Lipstadt observes, scholarly and popular e…

  • Ken Burns's The National Parks

    Edward T LinenthalARTICLEThe Public Historian2011

    Burns's documentary The National Parks: America's Best Idea offers compelling portraits of “American originals,” including John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, Stephen Mather, and Horace Albright. It offers breathtaking “god's-eye” views of national park landscapes. It offers fascinating biographies of Yellowstone and Yosemite, in particular the enduring tension between processes of preservation and commercialization. However, there were missed opportunit…

    Edward T LinenthalARTICLEJournal of American History2007

    This round table is an exploration of the diverse relationships between photographs and twentieth-century American history. To examine such relationships, this collection seeks to highlight multiple perspectives on photographs. We are interested in the often-hidden dynamics and consequences of the creation, dissemination, and reception of photographs: what it is like to be a photographer, what is it like to be a subject, how images become consume…

  • Stories and Bodies

    Edward T LinenthalARTICLEThe Oral History Review2005

    Alessandro Portelli describes the murder of 335 Roman civilians by the Nazis as an “open wound” in the city's memory. Linenthal uses this image to “dig into” the wound, and comment on contested narratives and rituals connected with the bodies of those murdered. Shortly after the massacre, stories began to blame the partisans for the attack and such accusations have become a staple of neo-Fascist Italian thought. Portelli restores integrity to his…

  • Problems and Promise in Public History

    Edward T LinenthalARTICLEThe Public Historian1997Cited by: 1References: 1

    I APPLAUD David Glassberg's call in History and the Study of Memory' for academic historians and public historians to learn from each other, to enrich each other's worlds, even to work together more closely in order to produce rich, accessible, provocative history in public. Public historians are indeed on the firing lines in these days of history wars in ways that academics-at least those with tenure-are not, and those of us in university life w…

    The National Air and Space Museum has been bitterly attacked for its ill-fated exhibit, The Last Act: The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II, originally scheduled to open in May 1995 with the restored fuselage of the Enola Gay on display. The exhibit, critics argued, failed to provide the crucial context for the use of the bomb: the horrors of combat in the Pacific. The curators were accused of practicing “revisionist” history by portraying …
