It explores how testimony evolves in relationship to the life of eyewitnesses across time. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book breaks new ground based on three principles. The first draws on Martin Buber's \"I-Thou\" concept, transforming the object of history into an encounter between subjects. The second employs the Jungian concept of identity, whereby the individual (internal identity) and the persona (external identity) reframe testimony as an extension of the individual. They are a living subject, rather than merely a persona or narrative. The third principle draws on Daniel Kahneman's concept of the experiencing self, which relives events as they occurred, and the remembering self, which reflects on their meaning in sum. Taken together, these principles comprise a new literacy of testimony that enables the surviving victim and the listener to enter a relationship of trust. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned for readers of Holocaust history and literature, this book defines the modalities of memory, witness, and testimony. It shows how encountering the individual who lived through the past changes how testimony is understood, and therefore what it can come to mean. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen D.
