The Problematic Return of Intent
The Holocaust and Historical Methodology
In the last two decades our empirical knowledge of the Holocaust has been vastly expanded. Yet this empirical blossoming has not been accompanied by much theoretical reflection on the historiography. This volume argues that reflection on the historical process of (re)constructing the past is as important for understanding the Holocaust-and, by extension, any past event-as is archival research. It aims to go beyond the dominant paradigm of politic…
Social Structure in Theresienstadt
From a Global War of Narratives to a Binational Framework
The Holocaust and the Nakba
In this groundbreaking book, leading Arab and Jewish intellectuals examine how and why the Holocaust and the Nakba are interlinked without blurring fundamental differences between them. It searches for a new historical and political grammar for relating and narrating their complicated intersections.
Israel Charny’s Attack on the Journal of Genocide Research and its Authors
Israel Charny has published an article, “Holocaust Minimization, Anti-Israel Themes, and Antisemitism: Bias at the Journal of Genocide Research” (JGR) in the Journal for the Study of Antisemitism. His specific allegations are bundled together in a single sentence: “minimization of the Holocaust, delegitimization of the State of Israel, and repeat[ing] common themes of contemporary antisemitism”. We write as the authors of articles and contributor…
Narrative, Testimony, and Trauma
Elias Khoury's novel Bab el Shams (Gate of the Sun), which came out in 1998 symbolically marking fifty years to the Palestinian Nakba, is perhaps the most comprehensive narrative of this ongoing event. This fascinating novel has not yet received the scholarly attention it deserves. My suggested reading of the novel is inspired by and juxtaposed with Holocaust literature and what might be called ‘Holocaust related critical theory’. This reading, I…
Deliberating the Holocaust and the Nakba
This article develops a theoretical framework for shared and inclusive Jewish and Palestinian deliberation on the memories of the Holocaust and the Nakba. It argues that a joint Arab-Jewish public deliberation on the traumatic memories of these two events is not only possible, however challenging and disruptive it may be, but also fundamental for producing an egalitarian and inclusive ethics of binationalism in Israel/Palestine. In order to devel…
The ‘Jewish narrative’ in the Yad Vashem global Holocaust museum
The 2005-inaugurated new historical museum of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem is one of the most significant and influential global Holocaust memorial sites of the twenty-first century.At the same time, it is also a very local Israeli 'lieu de me moire'.This essay explores the interactions between these two levels of representation while suggesting a critical analysis of the museum's narrative.I contend that for various cultural and political reasons thi…
The Victim's Voice and Melodramatic Aesthetics in History1
Saul Friedländer's recent Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of Extermination offers a brilliant new literary mode for historical representation of extreme events such as the Holocaust. He has produced an authoritative historical narrative of the Holocaust, within which he integrates the victims' authentic voices, as recorded (mostly) in their contemporary writings. This article offers a comparative assessment of Friedländer's achievement with …

Trauma, Narrative, and Two Forms of Death
Trauma, Narrative, and Two Forms of Death Amos Goldberg (bio) Trauma and Narrative There are several very different ways in which the relationship between "trauma" and "narrative" (or "life narrative") is articulated.1 Some scholars think that these two concepts are opposites—stories are a mode of symbolic structure that constructs identity, while trauma is the effect of that which evades structure and shatters identity. Many attribute such an un…
