Whether they intended to spark resistance and undermine Nazi authority, to comfort family and community, to beseech God, or to leave a memorial record for posterity, the writers reflect on the power and limitations of the written word in the face of events often thought to be beyond representation. The diaries, journals, letters, poems, and other works were created across a geography reaching from the Baltics to the Balkans, from the Atlantic coast to the heart of the Soviet Union, and in a wide array of original languages. Along with the readings, Eric J. Sundquist''s introductions provide a comprehensive account of the Holocaust as a historical event. Including works by prominent authors such as Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, as well those little known or anonymous, \u003ci\u003eWriting in Witness\u003c\/i\u003e provides, in vital and memorable examples, a wide-ranging account of the Holocaust by those who felt the imperative to give written testimony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University Press of New York (SUNY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51039730336087,"sku":"9781438470313","price":65.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/writing-in-witness-a-holocaust-reader-suny-series-in-contemporary-jewish-literature-and-culture-9781438470313","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
