About this book

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Tiburtius-Preis 2010 - Preis der Berliner Hochschulen

This study investigates the function of the radio play as medium of cultural memory, based on the memories of the holocaust found in the radio plays of the GDR. In comparison to the presentation of the holocaust in other media, which has already been explored various times, here for the first time the focus is on the specific aesthetic means of the radio play and the role of radio as political instrument of power in the FRG-GDR conflict. You can now find excerpts of the radio plays analyzed in the study (previously on the CD sold with the book) under "additional material" on this webpage. The password to open the zip file can be found on p. 356 of the e-book and print edition.

Reviews

"This is an important book – and not just because it challenges received wisdoms about Holocaust memory in the GDR, at least as far as the treatment of the theme in GDR radio plays is concerned. Its other key value is its awareness of the need to differentiate between cultural modes of reception."
