Of one-and-a-half million surviving photographs related to Nazi
concentration camps, only four depict the actual process of mass
killing perpetrated at the gas chambers. Images in "Spite of All"
reveals that these rare photos of Auschwitz, taken clandestinely by
one of the Jewish prisoners forced to help carry out the atrocities
there, were made as a potent act of resistance. Available today
because they were smuggled out of the camp and into the hands of
Polish resistance fighters, the photographs show a group of naked
women being herded into the gas chambers and the cremation of
corpses that have just been pulled out. Georges Didi-Huberman's
relentless consideration of these harrowing scenes demonstrates how
Holocaust testimony can shift from texts and imaginations to
irrefutable images that attempt to speak the unspeakable. Including
a powerful response to those who have criticized his interest in
these images as voyeuristic, Didi-Huberman's eloquent reflections
constitute an invaluable contribution to debates over the
representability of the Holocaust and the status of archival
photographs in an image-saturated world.
