Survivor Transitional Narratives of Nazi-Era Destruction: The
Second Liberation examines the historical circumstances that gave
rise in the 1960s to the first cohort of Nazi-era survivors who
massed a public campaign focusing on remembrance of Nazi racial
crimes. 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 Amery, an Austrian
ex-patriot who joined the Belgian Resistance during the war,
Vladimir Jankelevitch, 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 fellowshipThis 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. It is essential reading
for students and scholars of the Nazi era and its legacy, genocide
studies, Jewish Studies, and the history of emotions.
