Description

This book explores portrayals of Anne Frank in American literature and culture, and examines how artistic representations of Anne Frank over the past fifty years reflect changing American responses to the Holocaust. In addition to analysing American responses to the Holocaust, the author examines texts which invoke Anne Frank for the purposes of exploring what it means to be Jewish; a woman; a teenager; a writer. She considers the pedagogical intent of these texts, together with the often problematic ethics involved. This book examines theoretical issues in the fields of Holocaust studies, with a particular focus on representation, the transnational, and the interdisciplinary.
