Twelve photographs were taken at the scene. These now-infamous images show people in extreme distress, sometimes without clothing. Some capture the very moments when women and children confronted their imminent deaths, while others show their dead bodies. They are nearly unbearable to look at—so why should we? \u003ci\u003eFraming the Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e offers a multidimensional response to this question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While photographs are central to our memory of modern historical events, they often inhabit an ambivalent intellectual space. What separates the sincere desire to understand from voyeuristic curiosity? Comprehending atrocity photographs requires viewers to place themselves in the very positions of the perpetrators who took the images. When we engage with these photographs, do we risk replicating the original violence? In this tightly organized book, scholars of history, photography, language, gender, photojournalism, and pedagogy examine the images of the Šķēde atrocity along with other difficult images, giving historical, political, and ethical depth to the acts of looking and interpreting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a foreword by Edward Anders, who narrowly escaped the December 1941 shooting, \u003ci\u003eFraming the Holocaust \u003c\/i\u003erepresents an original approach to an iconic series of Holocaust photographs. This book will contribute to compelling debates in the emerging field of visual history, including the challenges and responsibilities of using photographs to teach about atrocity.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Foreword by Edward Anders\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Twelve Photographs\u003cbr\u003e Valerie HÉ\u003cbr\u003ebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Not to Tiptoe Away in the Face of Suffering: Why We Look at Holocaust Photographs\u003cbr\u003e Valerie HÉ\u003cbr\u003ebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Investigating Both Sides of the Camera on the Beach at Š\u003cbr\u003eķ\u003cbr\u003eē\u003cbr\u003ede\u003cbr\u003e Daniel Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reading against the Gaze: Perpetrator Motives and Subject Responses in Photographs of a Mass Shooting\u003cbr\u003e Tanja Kinzel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ordinary Acts, Extraordinary Crimes: Photographic Practice and Atrocity\u003cbr\u003e Daniel Hoffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Describing Atrocity: Soviet Words on German Perpetrator Images\u003cbr\u003e Marilyn Campeau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A Day at the Beach: The Š\u003cbr\u003eķ\u003cbr\u003eē\u003cbr\u003ede Massacre and Littoral Photography\u003cbr\u003e Daniel H.
