Abstract
This article is a review of A Companion to the Holocaust – a collective work edited by Simone Gigliotti and Hilary Earl, which includes essays by Devin Pendas, Joanna Michlic, Aomar Boum, Tim Cole, and others. The author of the article situates the reviewed publication in a broader context of phenomena such as the ‘era of the post-witness’, the performative turn in Holocaust studies, the dominance of audiovisual media in memory, and post-memory of the Holocaust. The review reconstructs key areas of the subject matter discussed in the essays and divides them according to their main topic, such as, ‘new geographies’ and ‘new subjects’ in Holocaust studies and the role of the new media in Holocaust memory.
