Memory Perceived
Using examples from 200 hours of testimony by Holocaust survivors, this volume documents how memory responds to atrocity: how people comprehend and remember deeply traumatic experiences, and ultimately adapt. This book depicts how the Holocaust exists in the minds of those who went through it, simultaneously revealing the principles of enduring memory while making the Holocaust more specific and immediate to readers. Through synthesis of many different testimonies, one individual is presented in relation to others, showing personal tragedies as well as the collective atrocity. The findings are also applied in the volume to other groups of people who have lived through extended atrocity.
Violent Accounts
Violent Accounts presents a compelling study of how ordinary people commit extraordinary acts of violence and how perpetrators and victims manage in the aftermath.

Drawing on public testimony from the amnesty hearings of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the book interweaves hundreds of hours of testimony from seventy-four violent perpetrators in apartheid South Africa, including twelve major cases that involved direct interactions between victims and perpetrators.

Psychological Research on Advanced Terrain Representation
This report describes an empirical investigation which was done to guide the development of a videodisc based system that will provide free travel from a ground-level perspective within a simulated environment. The Advanced Terrain Representation (ATR) system will be based on a generalization of surrogate travel. The purpose of conducting this psychological research was to provide the bounds of perceptual acceptability for guiding subsequent technological development. Ideally, ATR would present a complete and veridical representation of the natural tactical environment; however, because of storage constraints inherent in videodisc technology, the amount of information which can be presented ...

Trajectories of Memory
This volume, which grew out of a conference of the same name held at Bowling Green State University in March 2006, represents new scholarly perspectives on the way in which the Holocaust is remembered in history, literary studies and theatre. It is a response to changing representations of the Holocaust across generations, disciplines, and in various cultural and national contexts. The contributions address the following questions: How do historians, artists, scholars, and teachers negotiate the language of the Holocaust as survivors die, leaving future generations to respond to the dictum: Never again? How do children and grandchildren of survivors, perpetrators, bystanders transmit the dif...
