Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper provides an analysis of the Holocaust memory that is emerging in Spain, focusing on the graphic novel El fotógrafo de Mauthausen by Rubio, Colombo and Landa and the film of the same name directed by Targarona. In terms of form, the two works invest the Holocaust with an American aesthetic, while, at the same time, displaying strong local overtones. The result is controversial because it diminishes the particularity of the traumatic event by broadening its meaning beyond world Jewry. Yet, the visibilizing function is sharpened: the two works zoom in on the largely unnoticed destiny of Spanish Republicans.
