In 1944, members of the Sonderkommando-the "special squads,"
composed almost exclusively of Jewish prisoners, who ensured the
smooth operation of the gas chambers and had firsthand knowledge of
the extermination process-buried on the grounds of
Auschwitz-Birkenau a series of remarkable eyewitness accounts of
Nazi genocide. This careful and penetrating study examines anew
these "Scrolls of Auschwitz," which were gradually recovered, in
damaged and fragmentary form, in the years following the camp's
liberation. It painstakingly reconstructs their historical context
and textual content, revealing complex literary works that resist
narrow moral judgment and engage difficult questions about the
limits of testimony.
