As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, Ari Libsker has long been intrigued by the Shoah’s “graphic and explicit” representation in Israeli culture.
The filmmaker’s memory of Holocaust education revolves around images of naked women, he said. Pupils were regularly shown photos — and sometimes videos — featuring scantily clad or naked women who were either suffering, about to be murdered, or dead.
Whether the photographs were of corpses at Bergen-Belsen, or of women stripping before a mass shooting in Latvia, these images “became the Holocaust” for some children of survivors. Before hearing their own parents’ accounts of what took place in Europe, children were confronted with the most pornographic images imaginable.
“The memory of the Holocaust was made pornographic, with everyone focused on the graphic things and horrors,” said Libsker. “Until today, they want to shock you, and it has become a competition,” he said.
