• Resumen

  • In the last decade, a growing number of communication scholars have explored the rhetorical dimensions of artifacts that create and maintain “collective memories. “In this essay, I argue that a comparative study of didactic and dissident histories may be a heuristic way of decoding some of the complexities and contradictions that exist in Holocaust remembrances. By looking at the Israeli case of Rudolph Kastner, we gain needed insight into the complementary rhetorical processes of collective remembering and forgetting.
