Abstract

ABSTRACT:The Instagram account eva.stories went online on May 1, 2019, during the official Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. It attracted millions of people to watch a digital adaptation of Eva Heyman's diary, written by a thirteen-year-old Jewish Hungarian girl who died in Auschwitz. The project was much debated, and critics claimed that an Instagram account of a girl murdered in the Holocaust is a downgraded way to commemorate the Holocaust. However, eva.stories, like other mediated techniques with which people commemorate Holocaust-related stories, is shaping contemporary Holocaust memory. As such, understanding eva.stories can help uncover new elements of Holocaust memory in the "Instagram era." In this short report, eva.stories is further contextualized using a few of Andrew Hoskins's core assumptions regarding the "memory of the multitude." This review reveals how new mediated practices of Holocaust remembrance change how we engage with and remember Holocaust-related narratives.

理解@eva。故事:Instagram时代的大屠杀记忆

摘要:Instagram账号eva。2019年5月1日，在官方的大屠杀烈士和英雄纪念日期间，这些故事出现在网上。它吸引了数百万人观看伊娃·海曼(Eva Heyman)日记的数字改编版，这是一位死于奥斯维辛集中营的13岁犹太匈牙利女孩写的。这个项目引起了很大的争议，批评人士声称，在Instagram上发布一个在大屠杀中被谋杀的女孩的账户是一种降级的纪念大屠杀的方式。然而,伊娃。与人们用来纪念大屠杀相关故事的其他媒介技术一样，故事正在塑造当代大屠杀记忆。因此，理解伊娃。故事可以帮助揭示“Instagram时代”大屠杀记忆的新元素。在这个简短的报道中，伊娃。安德鲁·霍斯金斯(Andrew Hoskins)关于“大众记忆”的几个核心假设进一步将故事背景化。这篇综述揭示了新的大屠杀纪念中介实践如何改变我们参与和记住与大屠杀有关的叙述的方式。
