| Summary: | Antero Holmila's book, Reporting the Holocaust in the British, Swedish and Finnish Press, 1945–50, considers one of the earliest manifestations of Holocaust representation: newspaper depictions in the years immediately following the war. Holmila explores “the ways in which collective memories of the Jewish tragedy were forged in the public sphere” (p. 6), with a particular eye to the marginalization of Jewish suffering., In analyzing newspaper accounts, Holmila makes wise methodological choices. First, he focuses on relatively discreet events, particularly on the liberation of the concentration camps and on the Nuremberg trial of top German leaders. |
