Jennifer Evans and Former Public History Students Publish New Book on Holocaust Memory and Social Media

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!”
