This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord’s notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past. Perhaps now “spectacle” can be thought of not as a tool of distraction employed solely by hegemonic powers, but instead as a device used to answer Walter Benjamin’s plea to “explode the continuum of history” and bring our attention to now-time. Lindsey A. Freeman is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at SUNY Buffalo State. Her work concerns collective memory, nostalgia, utopia, space/place, atomic history, and art. She is currently at work on a book about the rise and decline of the Atomic Age which centers on the former secret atomic city of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, forthcoming from The University of North Carolina Press. Benjamin Nienass received his PhD from the Department of Politics at the New School for Social Research and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Collège d’études mondiales in Paris. His research is concerned with the politics of memory in postnational contexts, particularly in the European Union. Rachel Daniell is a doctoral student in Anthropology at The Graduate Center, CUNY, and was formerly the Associate Director of the Center for Human Rights and Peace Studies at Lehman College. Her research examines practices of documentation and representation around human rights violations committed by the United States in the “War on Terror.”

But the field can also contribute to the study of historical topics such as the destructive breakdown in relations between different ethnic and national groups in Central and Eastern Europe before and during the Second World War. It can also offer insight into the devastating outcomes of political propaganda on the education of children in societies under the control of the Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes.
Study of the children of the Second World War and the Holocaust can have even wider ramifications.I It can contribute to research on relevant contemporary topics like the scope of brainwashing and the mental and physical exploitation of youths and children in war and conflict zones by militias and armies such as extreme Islamic terrorist organizations like Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ, Jihad), and ISIS.

As editor Joanna Michlic sets out in her introduction, The main goal of this work is to broaden our understanding of wartime and postwar histories and (self)representation of mainly central east European Jewry through the lenses of Jewish parents, children, and youth, and to a lesser degree, through Jewish organizations and institutions.

The review is written by Prof. Gennady Estraikh of NYU who was also a generous discussant at our book launch on 4th Nov. 2013 at Columbia University
No Small Matter visits five continents and studies Jewish children from the 19th century through the present. It includes essays on the demographic patterns of Jewish reproduction; on the evolution of bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies; on the role children played in the project of Hebrew revival; on their immigrant experiences in the United States; on novels for young Jewish readers written in Hebrew and Yiddish; and on Jewish themes in films featuring children. Several contributions focus on children who survived the Holocaust or the children of survivors in a variety of settings ranging from Europe, North Africa, and Israel to the summer bungalow colonies of the Catskill Mountains. In addition to the symposium, this volume also features essays on a transformative Yiddish poem by a Soviet Jewish author and on the cultural legacy of Lenny Bruce.
