The first book-length examination of the significance of the Scrolls of Auschwitz as Holocaust testimony. Discusses the unique insights the Scrolls provide and challenges the idea that most significant Holocaust testimony was produced retrospectively. Examines testimony from both Eastern-European and Greek Jews who were members of the Sonderkommando exploring the heterogeneity of their experiences. Develops innovative interpretations that move beyond debates about authenticity and towards a consideration of questions around material modes of bearing witness.
