Geheimnistrager - the Secret Bearers Testimony - Partner of Silence
The psychological trauma experienced by the Geheimnistrager (the secret bearers) on giving a testimony on the Shoah, or the Holocaust, is discussed. The film 'Shoah' deals with silence and with the breaking of silence, with testimony about the silence and with testimony that encircles its core of silence and tries again and again to penetrate it; testimony as a partner-symptom to this silence of the 'real' witnesses.
