Holocaust Representation

Art within the Limits of History and Ethics

By
Berel Lang
Berel Lang
2000 • 175 pages

"Berel Lang addresses the relations between ethics and art in the context of contemporary discussions of the Holocaust. Are certain aesthetic means or genres "out of bounds" for the Holocaust? To what extent should artists be constrained by the "actuality" of history - and is the Holocaust unique in raising these problems of representation?"--BOOK JACKET.
