| Summary: | Our focus is on Holocaust testimony as a structure of address spoken for and to several audiences: a (m)other, a humanized executioner, a mirroring community, the dead, and God. Testimony's purpose as reinventing a responsive other so as to re-constitute the self as one who is heard, is explored. In the process, negative vaiences underlying testimony are uncovered and found to reflect absence, discontinuity, and difference back on to the self, leaving the survivor alone once more. |
