| Summary: | Shenker's well-researched monograph is the latest work on a topic that deserves re-examination: the creation and use of Holocaust video testimony in the so-called “era of the witness.” The global effort to film Holocaust testimony that began (roughly) in the late 1970s and peaked in the 1990s constituted a historical event in its own right, as Annette Wieviorka has argued.1 During this time, scholars such as Geoffrey Hartman,2 Lawrence Langer,3 Shoshana Felman, Dori Laub,4 and Henry Greenspan5 dedicated substantial books and book chapters to the subject. These witness-critics were oriented toward the present-day, the poetic, and the internal life of the people caught on camera. |
