Описание: Witnessing the Holocaust presents the autobiographical writings, including diaries and autobiographical fiction, of six Holocaust survivors who lived through and chronicled the Nazi genocide.
Drawing extensively on the works of Victor Klemperer, Ruth Kluger, Michal Glowinski, Primo Levi, Imre Kert sz and B la Zsolt, this books conveys, with vivid detail, the persecution of the Jews from the beginning of the Third Reich until its very end. It gives us a sense both of what the Holocaust meant to the wider community swept up in the horrors and what it was like for the individual to weather one of the most shocking events in history.
Survivors and witnesses disappear, and history, not memory, becomes the instrument for recalling the past. Judith M. Hughes secures a place for narratives by those who experienced the Holocaust in person.
This compelling text is a vital read for all students of the Holocaust and Holocaust memory.
Описание: This book investigates the memory of the Holocaust in Sweden and concentrates on early initiatives to document and disseminate information about the genocide during the late 1940s until the early 1960s.

Описание: Gendered Testimonies of the Holocaust considers the gendered dimension of the phenomenon of writing as a means of speaking to or for others and for oneself in life-affirming identity. Rather than reading testimony as an internalization of death, this book demonstrates that testimony involves transformation of muteness into written life.

Only two witnesses have ever testified substantially about the alleged Belżec Extermination Camp: The survivor Rudolf Reder and the SS officer Kurt Gerstein. For 40 years, Gerstein's testimonies were the main source of Western mainstream historiography in their attempt to reconstruct what transpired at the infamous Belżec Camp, where Gerstein said millions of Polish Jews were murdered with Diesel-engine exhaust gases in 1942.
Critical, revisionist voices were raised about Gerstein's statements early on, spearheaded by a passing remark by Paul Rassinier in his 1961 book Ulysse trahi par les siens (Odysseus Betrayed by His Own), followed by a critical analysis of Gerstein's claims in his 1964 book Le drame des juifs europ ens (The Drama of the European Jews), and culminating in the 1985 doctoral dissertation on The Confessions of Kurt Gerstein by French historian Henri Roque. As a result, Gerstein's testimonies are now discredited even among mainstream historians. One of them classified Gerstein's account as "a questionable source, and in some respects, it must even be classified as a fantasy."
In contrast to Western historians, Polish scholars focused on the testimonies of former Belżec inmate Rudolf Reder early on. After Gerstein had been discredited, Western historians started using Reder's various depositions to fill the narrative void created by Gerstein's ignoble removal from the Holocaustian Hall of Fame.
In the first part, the present study presents all of Reder's various statements in an English translation, then subjects them to critical scrutiny in the second part, demonstrating that they also are "a questionable source" that "must even be classified as a fantasy." After summarizing and explaining the many absurdities of Gerstein's claims in Part 3, the author juxtaposes both testimonies, which are for the most part utterly incommensurate.
