Abstract

It has been observed in recent years that the emergence, or reemergence, of far-right parties has an impact on how the memory of the Holocaust is used to build new political discourses around some historical facts of the past, as well as how democratic and historical memory should be treated and for what purposes. Based on research undertaken within the framework of the project “Sites of Tension: Shifts in Holocaust Memory in Relation to Antisemitism and Political Contestation in Europe,” implemented by the University of Haifa, led by Dr. Novis and Prof. Kochavi, this chapter will elaborate on how public memory of the Holocaust has been transformed, changed, or moulded as a result of the appearance of the political party VOX in the political arena in Spain.
