“Demonstrates that historical research into photography could benefit tremendously from collaboration with film and cultural studies. An analysis of the assumptions that guided these photographers exposes the intended effect of the images.”—H-Soz-Kult “Offers a holistic consideration of the chilling images.”—The Times of Israel “An original and highly valuable contribution to the debate about how to work with the photographic evidence of the Holocaust, and by extension, the broader visual representation of genocide, trauma, and crimes against humanity.”—Paul Lowe, coauthor of Understanding Photojournalism “An excellent and necessary collection on a timely subject. Framing the Holocaust, as the title suggests, addresses both the act of photographing atrocity and the interpretive and explanatory work vital to viewing and understanding such images. Well written, clearly argued, and engaged with current research, the essays form a rich assemblage of insights that unfold in a logical progression while avoiding simplistic and one-dimensional judgments.”—Kobi Kabalek, author of Rescue and Remembrance: Imagining the German Collective after Nazism
