Even the testimonies of those who were there provide only a glimpse of the disaster to those who were not. Between Witness and Testimony investigates the difficulties inherent in the obligation to bear witness to events that seem not just unspeakable but also unthinkable. The authors examine films, fictional narratives, survivor testimonies, and the museums at Yad Vashem and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in order to establish an ethics of Holocaust representation. Traversing the disciplines of history, philosophy, religious studies, and literary and cultural theory, the authors suggest that while no account adequately provides access to what Adorno called "the extremity that eludes the concept," we are still obliged to testify, to put into language what history cannot contain. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPersonal narratives$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPsychological aspects 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPersonal narratives$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures. 676 $a940.53/18/092 700 $aBernard-Donals$b Michael F$0544966 701 $aGlejzer$b Richard R$0998153 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954580803321 996 $aBetween witness and testimony$94362898 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04939nam 22006735 450 001 9910438091403321 005 20251117071948.0 010 $a3-319-02907-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-02907-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000083693 035 $a(EBL)1636489 035 $a(OCoLC)871777140 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001152489 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11627340 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001152489 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11148956 035 $a(PQKB)10769635 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-02907-8 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1636489 035 $a(PPN)17610707X 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000083693 100 $a20140104d2013 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe American Monetary System $eAn Insider's View of Financial Institutions, Markets and Monetary Policy /$fby William H.

Numerous high-risk opportunities are available, and the number of people who unwittingly wander into such ventures seems to grow daily. There is also the realization that people?s lives are affected by the financial system without their overt participation in it. Despite no active participation, pensions can be emasculated by a sudden decline in interest rates, or a rise in rates can increase the monthly payments on a mortgage, credit cards or other debt. This book looks at the history of the American banking system, including the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, the implementation of deposit insurance, along with certain other provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, the Bretton-Woods agreements, the forces of technological innovation and the Dodd-Frank Act, passed by Congress in 2010 for regulatory reform. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate level students that want to gain a broad understanding of how the financial system works, why it is important to the economy as a whole, and what its strengths and weaknesses are. Also, readers should gain an understanding of what the Federal Reserve, other regulators and other central banks are doing, and will be in a position to critique their actions and say with some depth of understanding why they agree or disagree with them. 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomics 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W46000 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 14$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 676 $a330 676 $a330.12 676 $a330.120973 676 $a336 700 $aWallace$b William H.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0248048 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438091403321 996 $aThe American Monetary System$92530610 997 $aUNINA
