Un prisma per la complessità delle memorie. Il Seminario UZ. La Shoah nell’Europa centro-orientale

The contribution provide some observations and working hypotheses, rather than conclusive reflections, on two complex topics: the Shoah in the Easter-central Europe and its representation in cultural products. In particular, we will focus on three elements: the macro-area of Central and Southeastern Europe as an often ignored landscape in Holocaust history; the complexity of the memory of communism, often contrasted with that of the Shoah; and finally, the importance of deconstructing the cultural product to avoid misunderstanding its meaning.
