Description
Addresses some of the controversies that have arisen from the use of postwar testimony. Delineates the ways in which the critical use of such problematic sources can provide telling evidence for writing Holocaust history. Examines and discusses two starkly different sets of "collected memories" - the testimonies of Eichmann and the testimonies of 175 survivors of slave labor camps in the Polish town of Starachowice
