Ep. 49- Reframing Holocaust Testimony with Noah Shenker
Description
Many of us have seen or listened to recorded Holocaust survivor testimony. But have we thought about HOW that testimony was created? And what role that process of eliciting testimony might play in the kinds of things survivors talk about it?
In this episode, I talked with Noah Shenker about how three different archives approached gathering testimony but also about what this means for our understanding of the Holocaust and the ways that survivors remember and recount their experiences.
Noah Shenker is an Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and Film and Media Studies at Colgate University.
