Testifying to the Holocaust - Pam Maclean, Michele Langfield, Dvir Abramovich (Ed)

With a sense of increasing urgency Holocaust survivors have recounted their experiences in videotestimonies and it is vital that their voices are heard. By drawing on diverse academic fields including Holocaust, refugee and immigration history; oral history methodology; ethics and the philosophy of religion; gender analysis; trans- and intergenerational communication, and the theory of testimony, contributors to this volume take an important step in ensuring that the significance of Holocaust videotestimonies is understood from multiple perspectives. Importantly, because discussion of videotestimonies held by the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia, provides a focal point for many of its chapters, this volume gives a unique insight into how the Holocaust has been remembered in Australia.
