Abstract

In the democratic systems that prevail in the western world, censorship stricto sensu is forbidden. However, the digital revolution has brought about the passing of laws for supervising, screening and blocking contents, limiting thus information exchange. The process is singularly alarming when it operates via translation, for in an increasing globalized world it is translation that is responsible for establishing a bridge between cultures. Basing ourselves on the restrictions imposed by the different laws that criminalize Holocaust denial, in this paper we shall analyze the way in which content control has influenced the transnational image of the historical event, which varies depending on the place where it is projected.

Keywords: censorship; translation; Holocaust; memory; denial.
