Conclusion:
-
The further the events recede from us, the less the subject is likely to prove contentious
Transnational Holocaust remembrance most notable consequence. Process of construction of shared European Holocaust narrative takes nourishment from memory rituals such as 60th Auschwitz ceremony.
However, persistence of important aspects of cultural specificity that national televisions help to preserve.
As long as Holocaust is perceived as relevant and TV networks are influenced by national politics, there will be double regime of Holocaust memory, part domestic, and part cosmopolitan
Television medium inherently sensitive to interplay between these two regimes, and that is why it is important
The Relief of Belsen, dir Justin Hardy (Channel 4, 15 October 2007)

-
Never seen from point of view of British troops engaged in task of trying to save lives of camp prisoners
Introduced by disclaiming that liberation of Belsen did not bring an end to death toll but instead beginning of humanitarian catastrophe; sore point in Anglo-Jewish relations
Drama only shows perspectives of British officers. Viewers never see survivors and have no access to their perception of events.
