Title

Photographic (re)memory: The holocaust and post–World War II memory in Yugoslavia

Description

As Jacques Derrida notes, the question of memory is not just a question of the past; instead memory is entangled with future generations and representations.¹ This entanglement is evident through the recycled Holocaust imagery utilized in the immediate post–World War II period and during the 1990s genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian atrocity images mirror the same composition and reproduce the same aesthetic framework as the now infamous concentration camp liberation photographs from April 1945.
