The Trajectory of Holocaust Memory: The Crisis of Testimony in
Theory and Practice re-considers survivor testimony, moving from a
subject-object reading of the past to a subject-subject encounter
in the present. It explores how testimony evolves in relationship
to the life of eyewitnesses across time. This book breaks new
ground based on three principles. The first draws on Martin Buber's
"I-Thou" concept, transforming the object of history into an
encounter between subjects. The second employs the Jungian concept
of identity, whereby the individual (internal identity) and the
persona (external identity) reframe testimony as an extension of
the individual. They are a living subject, rather than merely a
persona or narrative. The third principle draws on Daniel
Kahneman's concept of the experiencing self, which relives events
as they occurred, and the remembering self, which reflects on their
meaning in sum. Taken together, these principles comprise a new
literacy of testimony that enables the surviving victim and the
listener to enter a relationship of trust. Designed for readers of
Holocaust history and literature, this book defines the modalities
of memory, witness, and testimony. It shows how encountering the
individual who lived through the past changes how testimony is
understood, and therefore what it can come to mean.
