Paper Summary:
The paper discusses how "The Investigation" is Weiss' dramatic version of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials held from 1963 to 1965, which he attended. The paper details how he used the actual testimony of survivors from Auschwitz to transform the literal truth of the witnesses' testimonies into the imagined truth of Auschwitz. The paper explains how the rationale for this is to permit the spectator to enter into the landscape of Auschwitz.From the Paper:
""Auschwitz was a web of concentration camps and sub-camps [with] installations of torture, pseudo-medical experimentation and execution, but most of its inmates were exploited as slaves" (Luke 32). Physical survival was difficult, let alone resistance."More papers on "The Investigation":
