Descripción
One of the most important characteristics of the genre of testimony stems from the reader's experience of identification. However Holocaust testimony aims to prohibit identification on epistemological and ethical grounds. A reader should not identify with the narrator of a testimony as it reduces and 'normalizes' the narrator's experience.
