| Summary: | This rich and insightful study provides an important contribution to scholarship exploring audiovisual Holocaust testimonies. Pollin-Galay draws attention to what she terms the “ecologies of witnessing,” which encompass “ideology, poetic tendencies, ethos, mythology, material landscape, bodily practice, and the very mechanisms that allow people to organize and connect all these” (p. 2). These ecologies include the “social imaginary” at play in not only testimonies, but also the “spatial, aural, and material spheres that support the imagination” (p. 2)., The author’s sharp focus on Lithuanian Jewry enables her to explore these testimonies in great depth. |
