This book is the first to bring together analyses of the full range
of post-war testimony given by survivors of the Sonderkommando of
Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Auschwitz Sonderkommando were slave
labourers in the gas chambers and crematoria, forced to process and
dispose of the bodies of those who were murdered. They have been
central to a number of key topics in post-war debates about the
Shoah: collaboration, moral compromise and survival, resistance,
representation, and the possibility of bearing witness. Their
testimony however has mostly met with a reluctance to engage in
depth with it. Moving from testimonies produced within the event,
the Scrolls of Auschwitz and the Sonderkommando photographs, to
testimonies given at trials and for video archives, and to the
paintings of David Olere and the film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann,
this book demonstrates the importance of their witnessing in the
post-war memory of the Holocaust, and provides vital new insights
into the questions of representation, memory, gender, and the
Shoah.
