Reviews

Drawing on the theoretical insights of Jacques Derrida, Georges Didi-Huberman, and Michael Sheringham, Osborne's thorough and meticulous analysis conceptualizes the post-Holocaust archive not merely as a historical resource but as a memorial archive that in itself has become part of the discourse of memory and, as such, continues to generate a haunted legacy that does not provide simple answers about Germany's tainted past. . . . What Remains? offers a persuasive analysis of how the material residues of the post-Holocaust archive are deployed, envisioned, enacted, and embodied in contemporary German memorial art, documentary film, theater, and prose narrative.
