There is an increasing sense of urgency in relation to how the Holocaust will be remembered in a post survivor world. Concerns about methods of remembrance are longstanding. Examines testimony produced by the "Sonderkommando" at Birkenau including photographs and a series of writings composed between 1943-44 and then concealed in the grounds of the crematoria.
