This volume is based on interviews the author has conducted with the same core group of Holocaust survivors for more than two decades. Through these interviews, one can directly follow the ways recounting emerges and evolves, the way a story is made from a "non-story". Survivors' recounting is shown to be influenced both by the narrators' life histories before and after the Holocaust, and by the expectations of their listeners. As a result, their stories emerge within a double transaction: an inner dialogue between survivors' words and their memories, and an outer dialogue between survivors and their listeners.
