The memory of the Holocaust in Australia

该项目旨在制作澳大利亚大屠杀记忆的文化史。当代呼吁在澳大利亚背景下对大屠杀的记忆通常被理解为阐明其他种族迫害事件的不公正。这个项目旨在揭示这段记忆更为复杂和政治上更有影响力的历史。通过对澳大利亚大屠杀记忆发展中的关键时刻进行详细的档案和文化分析，该项目将探讨这一记忆所适用的各种政治和社会目的。该项目预计将产生对大屠杀记忆在塑造我们一些最重要，最持久的国家对话中所发挥的作用的深刻而细致的理解。

This project aims to produce a cultural history of Holocaust memory in Australia. Contemporary appeals to the memory of the Holocaust in the Australian setting are typically understood to illuminate the injustice of other instances of racial persecution. This project aims to uncover this memory’s far more complex and politically potent history. Through detailed archival and cultural analysis of key moments in the development of Australian Holocaust memory, this project will probe the various political and social ends to which this memory has been applied. The project expects to generate a deep and nuanced understanding of the role Holocaust memory has played in shaping some of our most important, and enduring, national conversations.
