Panel 4: History
6th May 2008, Festsaal Landesgalerie Linz
4 p.m.
History without Eyewitnesses and Images of History
Images of History – Just about all of the photographic material about the Holocaust has been reviewed by historical scholars. Which images are played up, which simply disappear, and which images are increasingly replacing others? And just who establishes this canon of imagery?
