The Holocaust is often described as beyond representation. Drawing
on interdisciplinary perspectives, this ground-breaking collection
of essays by leading international scholars takes the Scrolls of
Auschwitz as its starting point. These powerful hand-written
testimonies, which were buried in the grounds of the crematoria at
Birkenau in 1944, seek to bear witness to mass murder from at its
core. The accounts, which are often marginalized in studies of
Holocaust testimony, are frequently highly literary and ask
significant questions of the notion that Auschwitz cannot be
attested to. The volume also includes a number of essays that
consider other forms of testimony, in media such as film,
literature and video, which have also been marginalized as they
fail to conform to dominant ideas about the nature and structure of
the event.
