Superheroes and the Holocaust in American Comics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter explores the representation of the Holocaust in American superhero comics, focusing predominantly on the choice of narrative methods and character complexity in the context of American domestication of the Holocaust. Benefitting from the critical dismissal of the medium, the superhero comics served not only as a form of entertainment for children and young adults but, more significantly, as a platform for communicating the Jewish artists’ social, political, and ethnic concerns to a more mature audience. As Popular Culture reflects contemporary social moods, the superhero comics’ way of addressing the Holocaust significantly contributes to raising awareness of the genocide and its psychological impact. Additionally, the genre mirrors the public distrust of authorities, leading to blurred boundaries between the victim and perpetrator.
