Summary/Abstract: White analyses the difference between two types of historiographic discourse related to the Holocaust as represented in two outstanding studies on the subject. He argues that in the case of discourses connected to the witness’s experience, it is not only the reference that plays a role but also the specific point of view and emotions of the rescued person. These are taken into account by Saul Friedländer.
