Memories of the murder of the Jews by the National Socialists are associated with photographs and film strips. Until the 1960s, West Germany celebrated abstract art, rehabilitated degenerate art, and East Germany promoted the development of Socialist Realism; on both sides of the Iron Curtain, little attention was paid to images of the genocide of the Jews. This volume comments on 160 works by 42 artists that nonetheless emerged and intervened in the memory politics of the post-war period through their engagement with photography. The fact that this study on artistic reflections with brush, pencil, and everyday remnants of the murder of the Jews is only now being published may be due to the primacy of photographic images in memory, but it also raises fundamental questions about the quality of art.
