Description
Max Silverman proposes that the concept of memory that we can derive from the film necessitates a reading that links one time and place with another. The 'fearful imagination' in the wake of the camps is one that must permanently unsettle all normalizing assumptions that 'all this happened only once, at a certain time and in a certain place'
