N2 - Concerning Holocaust representation in literature and film, argues that unspeakability is not a thoughtful response to atrocity, horror, trauma, and pain, but rather a way for contemporary culture to avoid responsibility in regard to atrocities of the past. Discusses Spielberg's "Schindler's List", as well as Wiesel's "Night", Spiegelman's "Maus", and Lanzmann's "Shoah". Focuses on the image of the speaking corpse to stress that the suffering body should not be ignored in favor of issues of unspeakability.
