| description | In Europe under the domination of the National Socialist regime, particularly in ghettos, concentration camps, and extermination camps, men and women were confronted with the necessity of making choices under extreme conditions. Several accounts have reached us: a mother had to sacrifice one of her children to allow another to survive; a prisoner who became a “Kapo” was forced to choose which prisoners to protect at the expense of others; a doctor or caregiver had to decide which patients in the infirmary had the best chance of surviving in order to spare them from selection; and so on. Under these extreme conditions, all the values that guided these choices came into conflict – whether related to individual morality, professional ethics, or the logic of collective resistance. In this sense, the choice was both impossible and, at the same time, inevitable and necessary. The specialist in literature on the Jewish genocide, Lawrence L. Langer, coined the term “choiceless choices” in 1980: a non-choice, meaning a choice that is not really a choice. By mobilizing contributions from researchers from different countries and specialists in the history of the camps and testimonial literature, this book offers an interdisciplinary reflection on the question of choice and survival strategies. |
