Arguing against the prevailing view that Holocaust survivors
(encouraged by a new and flourishing culture of 'witnessing') have
come forward only recently to tell their stories,Writing the
Holocaust examines the full history of Holocaust testimony, from
the first chroniclers confined to Nazi-enforced ghettos to today's
survivors writing as part of collective memory. Zoe Waxman shows
how the conditions and motivations for bearing witness changed
immeasurably. She reveals the multiplicity of Holocaust
experiences, the historically contingent nature of victims'
responses, and the extent to which their identities - secular or
religious, male or female, East or West European - affected not
only what they observed but also how they have written about their
experiences. In particular, she demonstrates that what survivors
remember is substantially determined by the context in which they
are remembering.
