In 2017, Israeli artist Shahak Shapira released his online art installation, “Yolocaust.” In this installation, he downloaded tactless selfies and artsy photographs from people’s public social media accounts which were taken in front of the “Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe” in Berlin. He then replaced the background with real images of the Holocaust - inmates on bunks, corpses stacked in piles, etc. His mission was to call attention to the thoughtless and insensitive photographs that people take in front of this key memorial to the Holocaust. In the age of social media, the internet is littered with tweets, Instagram pictures, Facebook statuses, and Tumblr posts about the Holocaust. It begs the question: has social media chipped away at the authenticity at the core of Holocaust remembrance? In my research, I argue that many aspects of social media have been detrimental to Holocaust memory. It has helped to commercialize and trivialize the Holocaust in a new way; however, this phenomenon is not new. For years, the film industry has “dumbed down” the Holocaust in order to make it easy to digest for the average viewer and has greatly romanticized the event in many instances. My project analyzes the Holocaust in film, as well as in Social media in order to argue trends of commercialization and simplification regarding Holocaust memory did not develop newly in the last 15 years. With more digital technology, how we remember this event has been greatly shifted, often at the expense of historical truth, but not as a rule. This project hopes to warn viewers about the price of conveying Holocaust memory through such digital mediums as social media and film, but concedes that the wide-reaching arm of such sources is not always inherently negative and may be exploited as a memory tool in the future.
