Sources for Studying the Holocaust provides a pathway for readers
to engage with questions about what sources can be used to study
the Holocaust. For many historians, the challenge has been how to
rescue the story from oblivion when oft-used sources for other
periods of history introduce even more issues around authenticity
and reliability. What can be learned of what transpired in villages
and towns numbering several thousand people, when all its Jewish
inhabitants were totally obliterated through Nazi action? Who can
furnish eyewitness testimony, if all the eyewitnesses were killed?
How does one examine written records preserving knowledge of facts
or events, where none were kept or survived the onslaught? And what
weight do we put upon such resources which did manage to endure the
destruction wrought by the Holocaust? Each chapter looks at one of
a diverse range of source materials from which scholars have
rescued the history, including survivor testimony, diaries,
letters, newspaper accounts, photographs, trial documents,
artefacts, digital resources, memorials, films, literature, and
art. Each chapter shows how different types of records can be
utilised as accurate sources for the writing of Holocaust history.
Collectively, they highlight the ways in which all material, even
the most fragmentary, can be employed to recreate a reliable record
of what happened during the Holocaust and show how all sources
considered can be employed to find meaning and understanding by
exploring a range of sources deeply. This book is a unique analysis
of the types of sources that can be used to access the history of
Holocaust. It will be of invaluable interest to readers, students,
and researchers of the Holocaust.
