Survivor and historian building the past together: co-producing more than oral histories of the Holocaust

This article offers an example of historians and survivors working together that moves beyond oral history. Drawing on methods of co-producing knowledge, the article explores a number of themes and concepts - ghetto, camp, mobility, dislocation, space, time - that emerge from the experience of survivor Agnes Kaposi, and the historiographical reflections of historian Tim Cole. While the dialogue is suggestive of new conceptualizations of familiar Holocaust experience - ghettoization as practice; dislocation as temporal and spatial experience; ‘luck' as intersectional category; the significance of micro-geographies to survival - it also signals the value of coproducing ‘integrated' and ‘relational’ histories of the Holocaust together.

Abstract

This article offers an example of historians and survivors working together that moves beyond oral history. Drawing on methods of co-producing knowledge, the article explores a number of themes and concepts - ghetto, camp, mobility, dislocation, space, time - that emerge from the experience of survivor Agnes Kaposi, and the historiographical reflections of historian Tim Cole. While the dialogue is suggestive of new conceptualizations of familiar Holocaust experience - ghettoization as practice; dislocation as temporal and spatial experience; ‘luck' as intersectional category; the significance of micro-geographies to survival - it also signals the value of coproducing ‘integrated' and ‘relational’ histories of the Holocaust together.
