Digital Holocaust Memory from the Margins: Practices, Places, and Narratives

In recent years, the “digital” is redefining Holocaust memory by facilitating the co-production of memory by a wide spectrum of new agents. While digital culture opens new horizons, it also poses new challenges for Holocaust memory, education, and commemoration. This introduction to the special section “Digital Holocaust Memory from the Margins” provides a short review of the papers included in this section and a theoretical anchor for reconsidering the memory of the Holocaust from the margins—from the Global South, from digital platforms that are not considered “proper places,” and from discourses and technologies into which the memory of the Holocaust has migrated. These, we argue, can shed new light on the relationship between digital media and memory of the Holocaust.
