It has led to a proliferation of works of representation and re-memorialization which have brought in their wake concerns about a 'holocaust industry' and banalization. This volume sheds fresh light on some of the issues, such as the question of silence and denial, of the formation of contemporary identities — German, East European, Jewish or Israeli, the consequences of the legacy of the Shoah for survivors and for the 'second generation,' and the political, ideological, and professional implications of Shoah historiography. One of the conclusions to be drawn from this volume is that the 'Auschwitz code,' invoked in relation to all 'unspeakable' catastrophes, has impoverished our vocabulary; it does not help us remember the Shoah and its victims, but rather erases that memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Postmemory, Unsayability and the Return of the Auschwitz Code\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRonit Lentin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Categorial Murder, or: How to Remember the Holocaust\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eZygmunt Bauman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘The word passed away, as that world awakened’: On the (Im)possibility of Representation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHeidrun Friese\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Memory, Forgetting and Mourning Work: Deviant Narratives of Silence in the Gendered Relations between Israeli Zionism and the Shoah\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRonit Lentin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Entering the World of a Holocaust Victim: Schoolchildren Discuss a Ghetto Memoir – a Case Study\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJanina Bauman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e A Dual Perspective: Yaakov Shabtai and the Historian’s Account of the Deportation to Mauritius\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDalia Ofer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Memory, Authenticity and Replication of the Shoah in Museums: Defensive Tools of the Nation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAndrea Tyndall\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Forbidden Laughter?
