A young generation of artists and intellectuals led a protest movement against the presidential candidate, who had lied about his involvement in the Nazi war machine. The works of this second post-war generation, who continue to dominate the Austrian cultural landscape-the challenges posed by the recent electoral gains of right-wing parties notwithstanding-are marked by unrelenting attention to the shadow cast by the country's Nazi past. Katya Krylova's book undertakes close readings of key contemporary literary texts, films, and memorials that treat Nazism and the Holocaust. It explores the search for the remnants of a pre-Anschluss Austrian-Jewish culture destroyed in the Holocaust through the films of Ruth Beckermann and the writing of Anna Mitgutsch. It discusses responses to the growing xenophobia of the 1990s in a chapter on the films of Ulrich Seidl and Florian Flicker. Another chapter focuses on Elfriede Jelinek's deeply radical and controversial treatment of the Rechnitz massacre. And a chapter on Robert Schindel's Der Kalte analyzes the first historical novel about the Waldheim affair and what it tells us about that period's continuing significance. The book concludes with an investigation of recent memorial projects in Vienna and what these reveal about the Austria's contemporary politics of memory. 600 10 Waldheim, Kurt |xInfluence. 600 17 Waldheim, Kurt. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00037038 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061522 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061523 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zAustria. 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958923 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) in motion pictures. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958927 650 7 Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00972484 651 7 Austria. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204901 830 0 Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture 852 0 |bf |hPN56.H55 |iK76 2017 902 yj |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20170801 904 yj |ba |hm |cb |e20170801 914 (OCoLC)ocn971228602 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f971228602
