- W296076249 abstract "Twice during a recent conference at Yale on “The Contribution of Oral Testimony to Holocaust and Genocide Studies” (6–8 October 2002), Jorge Luis Borges’s “The Witness” was invoked. In this short text, Borges envisions the death of the last survivor of pre-Christian England: “Before dawn, he will be dead, and with him, the last eyewitness images of pagan rites will perish, never to be seen again. The world will be a little poorer when this Saxon man is dead.”1 With the time fast approaching when there will be no more eyewitnesses to the Holocaust, Borges’s exercise of the sympathetic imagination cannot but resonate. For in “The Witness,” as in the Yale Archive, history and memory are inextricable. It is not enough to preserve a factual or artifactual record of the past. Rather the writer seeks to archive the survivor’s very memory—not only what he has seen, but how he sees, how he remembers. Yet after the Holocaust we also know that remembering and bearing witness are not self-evident processes. “What if the tragedy of the messenger is that he could not deliver his message,” asked Elie Wiesel in his keynote lecture. “Worse, that he forgot the message. Worse, that he forgot he was a messenger. Or worse, that he delivered the message and nothing changed.” As Wiesel’s parable reminds us, survivors of the Holocaust faced, and may continue to face, troubling barriers, internal and external," @default.
