Examining various unexplored testimony collections, this article offers a first integrated analysis of the forced march and murder of hundreds of forced laborers from Bor, Serbia, in the multiethnic town of Crvenka, Batschka. Drawing on postwar Yugoslav and West German interrogation transcripts and 1990s oral history testimonies, it compares the different forms, functions, and conceptualizations of testimony during the postwar period. As it argues, diverse postwar testimonies not only allow for insight into the experiences and reflections of actors involved in Holocaust violence; they also enable historians to critically consider the intersections between postwar judicial procedures, historiographies, and memorial cultures
