| Summary: | Nicholas Chare and Dominic Williams are already well known for their contributions to understanding the testimony and the cultural representations of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Sonderkommando, and this edited volume extends their earlier work. They not only argue for the ethical centrality of the Sonderkommando to understanding the Holocaust, but also advocate a more expansive definition of testimonial and representational evidence, both necessary to grasp the complex actions of those Jews forced to do the horrific work at the gas chambers and crematoria. The new volume furthers this goal by drawing together scholars from several disciplines to consider both well-known sources and less familiar textual and cultural responses. |
