Abstract:
Argues that despite the impossibility and/or illegitimacy of understanding Holocaust testimonies, readers do identify with the victims. Stresses that these testimonies of trauma are a new genre that involves new expectations and a new way of reading, one in which we should respond to the words when we cannot completely understand or identify with the victims.
Note:
Another version appeared in his "The Holocaust and the Postmodern" (2004).
