Colleagues:

I am writing to ask for help with a large undertaking: an inventory of work with genocide (including Holocaust) and other political violence survivors that is not limited to the conventional testimony collection/archive model.  While they are various, the following dimensions characterize many of the projects that I have been listing:

1.  At least some degree of sustained acquaintance with the survivors involved--more than a single interview.

Re: INQ: Studying Atrocity, Trauma, and Genocide: Scholars, and archival trauma

I have just happened on Mark Mengerink's interesting query on the possible traumatic effect when one immersesmerses oneself in Holocaust research. From my own personal experience in the private and public papers of Robert Briscoe, a member of the  Irish-Jewish community who was involved in the Irish War of Independence alongside Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera before becoming involved the 1930s German-Jewish emigration effort. He then joined with Jabotinsky and the revisionists in their desperate attempt to break the British blockade of the Mandate.
