The Sonderkommando—the “special squad” of enslaved Jewish
laborers who were forced to work in the gas chambers and crematoria
of Auschwitz-Birkenau—comprise one of the most fascinating and
troubling topics within Holocaust history. As eyewitnesses to and
unwilling abettors of the murder of their fellow Jews, they are the
object of fierce condemnation even today. Yet it was a group of
these seemingly compromised men who carried out the revolt of
October 7, 1944, one of the most celebrated acts of Holocaust
resistance. This interdisciplinary collection assembles careful
investigations into how the Sonderkommando have been
represented—by themselves and by others—both during and after
the Holocaust.
