Writing the Holocaust: Identity, Testimony, Representation

Waxman examines the full history of Holocaust testimony, from the very first chroniclers confined to Nazi-enforced ghettos, to today's survivors writing as part of collective memory. Showing how dramatically the conditions and motivations for bearing witness have changed, she reveals the multiplicity of Holocaust experience and how different contexts have given rise to very different modes of remembering.

Zoë Waxman gained a D.Phil. from Oxford University in 2001. She is a Fellow in Holocaust Studies, a member of the Department of History at Royal Holloway, University of London, and the author of a number of articles on the Holocaust.
