Holocaust Tweets as an Act of Resistance

More than other collective memories, the Holocaust is the
most vivid memory in today’s Israeli existence. As a result of comprehensive
official and unofficial memory work that utilizes the Holocaust
as a political and educational tool, on the one hand, and due to the
advent of the new media, on the other, its grip on everyday Israeli reality
is only growing stronger. As part of a broader research project focusing
on resistive cultural activity on Israeli Twitter, this article makes visible
the striking omnipresence of the Holocaust on this social network, while
maintaining that many of the ‘Holocaust tweets’ constitute an act of
resistance. That is, users are engaged in oppositional decoding in a battle
against the hegemonic Holocaust discourse.
