Post-Socialist Memory in Global Perspective: Postcolonialism, Post-transition, Post-trauma

In the eighty years since the end of the Second World War, perspectives on the Shoah have evolved significantly, shaped by geopolitical and social factors. ese shifts have encompassed periods of silence, an inability or unwillingness to process the catastrophe´s exceptional scale, and movements toward visibility, fascination, marginalization, denial, privatization, instrumentalization and commercialization. As historical distance grows, new generations of writers, artists, and scholars face the challenge of representing this trauma in ways that engage contemporary audiences while remaining anchored in historical memory.
