Abstract
The paper discusses the approaches of different media to Holocaust
(re)presentation, with special reference to art music in the 20th century.
Following the classification proposed by Michael Rothberg on two possible
perspectives for representing the Holocaust: realistic and anti-realist
(2000), we analyse two compositions: Arnold Schoenberg?s A Survivor From
Warsaw (1947) and Steve Reich?s Different Trains (1988). The aim of the
paper is to point out how artistic music reflects and participates in the
dominant historical and contemporary discourses of Holocaust
representation, especially the discourses of ?heroism? and
?non-representability?.
