>This proposed panel will examine the ways in
>which the writer/survivor negotiates his or her
>role in narrating the Holocaust. As Charlotte
>Delbo tells her reader in the headnote to her
>three-volume trilogy, Auschwitz and After,
>ěToday I am not sure that what I wrote is true.
>I am certain it is truthful.î Thus for a writer
>such as Delbo, the purpose of testimony is both
>to convey personal experience and to commemorate
>silenced voices.
>
>This panel welcomes 250 word abstracts that
>address questions of personal and collective
>memory, or which seek to explore another aspect
>of testimony related to this topic, such as
>traumatic personal narrative or the place of
>fiction in the Holocaust testimonial.
