Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 May 2025
There are very few Holocaust survivors or perpetrators left in the world, and, quite soon, there will be none. What role will the Holocaust play in global culture and politics in a world where no one alive had any direct experience of the event? It seems unlikely that the Holocaust will ever disappear entirely from public consciousness, but what does the legacy and meaning of Nazi genocide look like going forward? In a fragmenting media, cultural, and political landscape, will there simply be a plethora of “Holocausts,” each dragooned into the service of some contemporary agenda? Will it be possible to craft and hold onto some kind of understanding of the Holocaust with broader reach, one that can perhaps help underpin ongoing efforts to mitigate mass violence?
