Abstract

silence has always been a persistent theme in Holocaust studies. How did so many people remain silent as millions of their neighbors were taken off and killed? Why did so few people resist, and why did so many otherwise rational people blindly follow orders and not speak up against the atrocities committed in the name of racial purity? Why did it take so long for survivors to publish accounts of their experiences in the camps? However, it is only recently that people have realized that silence is possibly the most salient connection between survivors and perpetrators of the Holocaust. It is relatively easy to accept that a person who was victimized during the Holocaust would chose not to subject themselves to the trauma of recounting their ordeal. What is not acceptable is how the perpetrators are just as unwilling to examine that part of their history.
