Descriere
In this study, the mecanisms by which literature, fiction, and other narratives could become testimonial of genocide are analyzed. It is demonstrated that fictional works and testimony narratives, by creating shared emotion between reader and writer, create the Human truth, which is more important than the scienfic truth.
