Each chapter offers an interesting perspective and keen insights into the Sonderkommando, the Scrolls of Auschwitz, and Holocaust representation, and I came away with new appreciation for them all. * Sarah Cushman, Northwestern University Testimonies of Resistance is an important volume that addresses a topic that has not been explored in sufficient depth so far, connecting it to crucial debates on the gray zone, resistance, and moral action. It is a vital contribution to the field of Holocaust Studies and beyond. * Svenja Bethke, University of Leicester Author InformationNicholas Chare is Associate Professor in the Department of History of Art and Film Studies at the Universite de Montreal.
