This videotape contains highlights from a conference of the same name which sought to explore the legacy of the Holocaust in the Third World. Specifically, it illuminates how the Holocaust has influenced writers and scholars from Asia, Africa, and Latin America/Caribbean. Third World views of the Holocaust are interlinked with Western concern for contemporary genocide and also represent a globalization of Holocaust consciousness, an inevitable consequence of so-called “Americanization” of the Holocaust.
