The survivors' decision to engage and disquiet a public audience occurred against the backdrop of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial and the West German debate over the enforcement of statutory limitations for prosecuting former Nazis. Dennis B. Klein focuses on the accounts of three survivors: Jean Améry, an Austrian ex-patriot who joined the Belgian Resistance during the war, Vladimir Jankélévitch, a member of the French Resistance, and Simon Wiesenthal, who dedicated his life after the war to investigating Nazi crimes. As Klein argues, their accounts, in addition to acting as a reminder of Nazi-era endemic criminality, express a longing for human fellowship. This contextual and interdisciplinary interpretation illustrates the explanatory significance of contemporary events and individual responses to them in shaping the memory and legacy of Nazi-era destruction.Modern history of politics and violence.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)HistoriographyHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Moral and ethical aspectsEuropean historybicsscElectronic books.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Historiography.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Moral and ethical aspects.European history940.53/180922Klein Dennis B.550049DLCCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910511450803321Survivor transitional narratives of Nazi-era destruction2550374UNINA
