Summary:In this article, we discuss eye-witness accounts of the greatest atrocity of the 20th century - the Shoah - using the general theory of seduction. We see such accounts as possible translations of the traumatic elements by survivors who, after numerous significant losses - of name, dignity, loved ones - may, through writing, temporalize their existence and self-representations. These accounts can also enable survivors to open up spaces of memory where tombstones for those who succumbed to the horror can be raised.
