Migrating Images and Image Migration: How Popular Culture shapes the Visual History of the Holocaust

Conference in Jerusalem, 12-14 September 2022

The conference explores the impact of historical film footage and photographs from the liberation and Nazi atrocities on popular culture representations of the Holocaust, particularly on films, graphic novels, artworks, video games, and digital media. Artists, directors, creators, and producers from the local and international creative industries join scholars and researchers to discuss artistic methods of integrating, referencing, appropriating and curating liberation- and other Holocaust-related imagery and their effect on the memory of the Holocaust.
