In novels, film and popular culture, the Holocaust genre is booming. Streaming hits and bestsellers are playing a vital role in shaping understandings of the past.

But, as Tanya Gold shows in this crucial essay, the creators of these works all too often engage in a crass and self-serving exercise in exploitation. In this new wave of Shoah blockbuster, the destruction of the Jews becomes a plot device or a ready-made backdrop - and the truths of history and of the dead are violated. The results, in many cases, are shameful fictions that desecrate the past and misrepresent the Jewish people of today.
