Extract

When Hannah Arendt wrote, in Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), that “the holes of oblivion do not exist. Nothing human is that perfect, and there are simply too many people in the world to make oblivion possible,” she was referring to the survivors of the Holocaust who would live to tell the Shoah's many “forgotten” stories. Nearly forty years after, there are fewer survivors to do the job. And scholars have taken up the burden of witness to help us fill in the gaps.
