This month, Holocaust Memory in the Digital Mediascape will be released by Bloomsbury UK. Written by Jennifer Evans together with former students Meghan Lundrigan and Erica Fagen, it is a landmark intervention in the field of memory studies, Holocaust studies, and public history.
As founder and co-president of the Memory Studies Association Jenny Wüstenberg notes, “this volume is an invaluable methodological guide for historians and others working with Instagram, Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter/X, and more. With Holocaust memory now a fast moving and ever-changing target for scholars, Evans, Lundrigan and Fagen bring not only a fantastic breadth of knowledge and theoretical insight, but also sensitivity and nuance to a topic that lies at the heart of our most pressing discussions about democracy and its discontents, popular culture, and the role of memory in all of it. A massive achievement!”
