In Memory and Complicity: Migrations of Holocaust Remembrance, Debarati Sanyal tries to explore and answer some ambitious and inconvenient questions concerning the possibility of Holocaust memory itself. She does it with great awareness of the ongoing philosophical debates. The book is shaped by case studies: each chapter concentrates on specific literary and cinematic works as powerful vehicles of this back-and-forth use of memory. It becomes clear that confluences of memories can be dangerous as well as productive of new meanings.
