The Nazis' persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust included
the creation of prisoner hierarchies that forced victims to
cooperate with their persecutors. Many in the camps and ghettos
came to hold so-called "privileged" positions, and their behavior
has often been judged as self-serving and harmful to fellow
inmates. Such controversial figures constitute an intrinsically
important, frequently misunderstood, and often taboo aspect of the
Holocaust. Drawing on Primo Levi's concept of the "grey zone," this
study analyzes the passing of moral judgment on "privileged" Jews
as represented by writers, such as Raul Hilberg, and in films,
including Claude Lanzmann's Shoah and Steven Spielberg's
Schindler's List. Negotiating the problems and potentialities of
"representing the unrepresentable," this book engages with issues
that are fundamental to present-day attempts to understand the
Holocaust and deeply relevant to reflections on human nature.
