Shameless: Exploiting the Holocaust by Tanya Gold
In partnership with Melbourne Jewish Book Week and The Jewish Quarterly we invite you to a compelling conversation with award-winning UK journalist Tanya Gold and Dr Daniel Haumschild, Manager of Exhibitions and Storytelling at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
In novels, film and popular culture, the Holocaust genre is booming. As Tanya Gold shows in this crucial Jewish Quarterly essay, however, the creators of these works all too often put the success of their product above the integrity of the story. Unfortunately, when creators engage in crass and self-serving exercises of exploitation, the results are shameful fictions that desecrate the past and misrepresent the Jewish people of today.
Tanya will join us virtually from the United Kingdom.
