Description
The author of this essay examines the history of Holocaust testimony and how it has changed over time. She discusses the different contexts in which testimony has been given and how these have influenced the way the Holocaust is remembered.
Waxman examines the full history of Holocaust testimony, from the very first chroniclers confined to Nazi-enforced ghettos, to today's survivors writing as part of collective memory. Showing how dramatically the conditions and motivations for bearing witness have changed, she reveals the multiplicity of Holocaust experience and how different contexts have given rise to very different modes of remembering.
