先月も忙しく10冊いかなかったです。今月は長めの休みがとれそうなのでペースを取り戻せるといいのですが。。。
Sophie’s Choiceという表現をきっかけに、Sophie’s ChoiceやBook Thiefなどを読んだのですが、下記に紹介するNew York Review Of Booksの記事を読んだ後でもあったので、ポップカルチャーのテーマとしての「ホロコースト」が気になりました。中公新書の「ホロコースト」に書いてあったことですが、ホロコーストというトピックがポップカルチャーで大きな関心を集めたのは1978年NBCドラマだそうです。戦後ずいぶんと経ってからなんですね。

Holocaust
Holocaust is an American television miniseries broadcast in four parts in 1978 on the NBC television network. The series tells the story of the Holocaust from the perspective of the (fictional) Weiss family of German Jews and that of a rising member of the SS, who gradually becomes a merciless war criminal. Holocaust highlighted numerous important events which occurred up to and during World War II, such as Kristallnacht, the creation of Jewish ghettos and later, the use of gas chambers. Although the miniseries won several awards and received critical acclaim, it was criticized by some, including noted Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel, who described it as "untrue and offensive."
ホロコースト：合衆国のメロドラマが共和国に衝撃を与える
「ナチ＝強制収容所＝ユダヤ人絶滅」という連想になりやすいですが、そのようなイメージは実像とあっていないということをいくつもの歴史書を紹介しながら明らかにしてくれているのが以下の記事です。例えば当初は強制収容所のユダヤ人の割合は少数で政治犯が多数で、ユダヤ人が増えたのもポーランドなどを占領して、ユダヤ人が政治的な反乱分子になりやすいからと考えられてのことだったと説明してくれています。
The Anatomy of Hell
Richard J. Evans
JULY 9, 2015 ISSUE
In the popular imagination, the Nazi concentration camp now features mainly as a place where Jews were taken to be gassed. In a recent German opinion poll, most respondents associated the camps with the persecution and murder of Jews; under 10 percent mentioned other categories of camp prisoners, such as Communists, criminals, or homosexuals. The power of the “Holocaust” as a concept has all but obliterated other aspects of the crimes of the Nazis and the sufferings of their victims and driven the history of the camps from cultural memory. No crime in human history outdoes the genocidal extermination of six million European Jews on the orders of the leader of Germany’s self-styled “Third Reich.” Yet the majority of the Jewish victims of Nazi mass murder were not killed in the camps; they were shot, starved to death, or left to die of diseases that could easily have been prevented or treated but were not. The concentration camp was in no way synonymous with the Holocaust.
