Holocaust Testimonies: Reassessing Survivors' Voices and Their Future in Challenging Times, (Paperback)

<p><b>Close to a time when there will be no more survivors to speak about their suffering, this innovative study takes much-needed stock of the past, present and future of Holocaust testimony. </b> </p><p>Drawing from a vast range of witness accounts - including a never-before-published survivor interview - and carefully situating analysis within broader historical and political discourses, this international team of scholars address many pertinent issues of testimony in the post-witness age. These include: questions of representation and testimony form; memory politics and the role of the witness; the legacy of the Holocaust and impact on future generations; the digital turn and issues of access; and gender and testimony in the wake of #MeToo. Stressing the importance of re-assessing, re-contextualizing, and re-presenting testimonies, these essays make a powerful case for the ongoing centrality of witnesses and witnessing in Holocaust research, education and memory. In doing so, <i>Holocaust Testimonies</i> skillfully paves the way for future research with survivor testimonies.</p>
