1998Softbound. 4to. XXII, 358 pages. 26 cm. First edition. Profusely illustrated with over 100 photographs in color. Naomi Kramer, the Education Director of the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, and Ronald Headland, music teacher at Vanier College, use the example of the individual to approach universal issues that inevitably arise in discussing the Holocaust - evil, courage, human dignity, moral responsibility, and the existential qualities of humankind. This book consists of two main sections - the first involves interpretation and reflections on the meaning of one individual's experiences during the Shoah. The second section sets forth the historical content in which these experiences occurred. It contains a comprehensive historical summary of the Shoah and represents a succinct synopsis of existing secondary literature and primary sources. A bibliography and extensive glossary of terms relating to both Jewish life and the Shoah are included. The strength of the book lies in its combination of micro- and macro-histories. Its micro-history section, entitled ``One, '' comes in the form of the personal testimony of Holocaust survivor Peter Kleinmann. It provides detail and individual nuance to the general, impersonal events of the Shoah. From sweet, pre-war memories of Jewish communal life in Munkàcs, to his death march from Gross-Rosen to Flossenbürg, Kleinmann's voice quietly evokes a small, tragic piece of the puzzle of Holocaust suffering. His experience of being saved from certain death only by a chance encounter with his brother who was a prisoner processing other prisoners in Flossenbürg, reminds us of the often arbitrary, slight difference between survivor and victim.

1991Publishers cloth. 8vo. XIX, 216 pages. 24 cm. First edition. Winner of the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism. This important and original book is the first sustained analysis of the unique ways in which oral testimony of survivors contributes to our understanding of the Holocaust. It also sheds light on the forms and functions of memory as victims relive devastating experiences of pain, humiliation, and loss. Drawing on the Fortunoff Video Archives for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University, Lawrence L. Langer shows how oral Holocaust testimonies complement historical studies by enabling us to confront the human dimensions of the catastrophe. Quoting extensively from these interviews, Langer develops a technique for interpreting them as we might a written text. He contrasts written and oral narratives, noting that while survivor memoirs by authors such as Primo Levi and Charlotte Delbo transform reality through style, imagery, chronology, or a coherent moral vision, oral testimonies resist these organizing impulses and allow instead a kind of unshielded truth to emerge, just as powerful in its impact as the visions taking shape in written memoirs. He argues that it is necessary to deromanticize the survival experience and that to burden it with accolades about the indomitable human spirit is to slight its painful complexity and ambivalence. Finally he explores the perplexing task of establishing a meaningful connection between consequential living and inconsequential dying, between moral striving and the sprit of anguish and sense of a diminished self that pervades these haunting Holocaust testimonies.
