I thought the section on the Holocaust was particularly interesting, and somewhat daring to talk about. He seems to essentially be saying that television has transformed this tragedy into a cold, televised memory and because of this, this history has been exterminated.

I thought that it was a really interesting concept to think about when Baudrillard discusses the concepts of the hyperreal and the imaginary. Particularly, his examples of Disneyland and the Watergate scandal. It really just made me start second-guessing everything in the realm of politics and entertainment -- which is something he probably wants us to do.
