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
