In Selling the Holocaust, Tim Cole examines three of the Holocaust's most emblematic figures–Anne Frank, Adolf Eichmann, and Oskar Schindler–and three of the Holocaust's most visited sites–Auschwitz, Yad Vashem, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum–to show us how the Holocaust has become a mass-marketed production. Now with a new introduction by the author that examines recent phenomena like Life is Beautiful and The Diary of Anne Frank on Broadway, this groundbreaking book shows us how the Holocaust is being bought, packaged, and sold.
Tim Cole is a professor of history at the University of Bristol. He was formerly the Paul Resnick Resident Scholar at the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
