Beskrivelse
In December of 1941, on a beach near the Latvian city of Liepāja, Nazi death squads and local collaborators murdered over 2,700 Jews, the culmination of a monthslong campaign of genocidal violence. Although ostensibly on the geographical margins of the Holocaust, these killings remain well-remembered today for the rare photographic evidence they left behind. In this trenchant meditation on the Liepāja images, Nadine Fresco argues for the vital importance of photographs and other nontraditional sources for understanding the Holocaust. She confronts charged questions around guilt and testimony while teasing out the subtle implications of photographic detail, helping to illuminate the perspectives of those who witnessed the brutality of the Holocaust.
