The Wonder of Their Voices: The 1946 Holocaust Interviews of David Boder (review)

[...]one of Boder's most urgent priorities was to gain insights into one of the devastating consequences of trauma, what he called "deculturation": Boder dealt with trauma in relation to the Holocaust on several levels: as a way to codify the entire range and intensity of victimization; as a means to include suffering experienced both directly and indirectly; and most provocatively as a standard by which to differentiate between the kinds of suffering inflicted upon various groups, particularly Jews and non-Jews. . [...]Rosen explains, "traumatic experience cannot be fully known or assimilated but rather belatedly invades the victim's lives by means of flashbacks and nightmares."
