Laughter After : Humor and the Holocaust
Laughter After: Humor and the Holocaust argues that humor performs political, cultural, and social functions in the wake of horror.Co-editors David Slucki, Gabriel N. Finder, and Avinoam Patt have assembled an impressive list of contributors who examine what is at stake in deploying humor in representing the Holocaust.Namely, what are the boundaries? Clearly, there have been comedy and laughter in the decades since.However, the extent to which humor can be ethically deployed in representing and discussing the Holocaust is not as clear.This book comes at an important moment in the trajectory of Holocaust memory.As the generation of survivors continues to dwindle, there is great concern among scholars and community leaders about how memories and lessons of the Holocaust will be passed to future generations.Without survivors to tell their stories, to serve as constant reminders of what they experienced, how will future generations understand and relate to the Shoah?Laughter After is divided into two sections: "Aftermath" and "Breaking Taboos." The contributors to this volume examine case studies from World War II to the present day in considering and reconsidering what role humor can play in the rehabilitation of survivors, of Jews and of the world more broadly.More recently, humor has been used to investigate the role that Holocaust memory plays in contemporary societies, while challenging memorial conventions around the Holocaust and helping shape the way we think about the past.In a world in which Holocaust memory is ubiquitous, even if the Holocaust itself is inadequately understood, it is perhaps not surprising that humor that invokes the Holocaust has become part of the memorial landscape.This book seeks to uncover how and why such humor is deployed, and what the factors are that shape its production and reception.Laughter After will appeal to a number of audiences-from students and scholars of Jewish and Holocaust studies to academics and general readers with an interest in media and performance studies.

Which animals have gills?
Animals that have gills include fish, some amphibians like tadpoles, and certain invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans. Gills are respiratory organs that allow these animals to extract oxygen from water. Gills are typically found in aquatic animals that live in water environments.
-
What are artificial gills?
Artificial gills are devices designed to extract oxygen from water, allowing humans to breathe underwater. These devices typically use a chemical process to separate oxygen from water molecules, mimicking the way gills work in fish. While there have been some prototypes and concepts developed for artificial gills, creating a practical and efficient device for human use remains a significant challenge. Nonetheless, the development of artificial gills could have significant implications for underwater exploration and potentially even for emergency situations.
-
Can a human have gills?
No, humans cannot have gills. Gills are respiratory organs found in aquatic animals that allow them to extract oxygen from water. Humans have lungs, which are adapted for breathing air. Our respiratory system is not designed to extract oxygen from water, so we are not capable of having gills.
-
Do fire salamanders have gills?
No, fire salamanders do not have gills. They are amphibians and breathe through their skin and lungs. As they mature, they lose their gills and develop lungs for breathing on land. Fire salamanders typically live in moist environments and are known for their striking black and yellow coloration.

Which animal has gills and lungs?
The animal that has both gills and lungs is the amphibian. Amphibians have gills during their larval stage when they live in water, and then develop lungs as they transition to living on land as adults. This dual respiratory system allows them to breathe both underwater and on land, making them well-adapted to their semi-aquatic lifestyle.
-
What types of gills are there?
There are two main types of gills found in aquatic animals: external gills and internal gills. External gills are located on the outside of the body and are commonly seen in larval amphibians like tadpoles. Internal gills are found inside the body, either in the form of gill slits in fish or within specialized structures like gill chambers in mollusks. Both types of gills are essential for extracting oxygen from water and are adapted to the specific needs of the organism's environment.
-
Does the platy have red gills?
Yes, the platy does have red gills. The gills of the platy are typically a bright red color, which helps them extract oxygen from the water. This is a natural characteristic of the platy and is not a cause for concern as long as the fish is otherwise healthy and active.
-
What do fish have red gills for?
Fish have red gills because they are rich in blood vessels that help them extract oxygen from the water. The red color comes from the presence of hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and transports it throughout the fish's body. This allows fish to breathe underwater and obtain the oxygen they need to survive. Additionally, the red color of the gills can also help with camouflage and communication among some species of fish.
