Deceiving: Nathan Lindenberger and the Duplicities of Theresienstadt

Lindenberger, Herbert

Pages: 3 –28

[My uncle, Nathan Lindenberger, died with a dignity denied to most other victims of the Shoah: after all, he was honored with a death certificate (see figure 1.1) that listed his street address in Theresienstadt, the camp to which he had been deported; his precise birth and death dates; the...

Repositioning: Stages of Shoah-Consciousness

Lindenberger, Herbert

Pages: 153 –180

[My parents had been fearing the worst long before they got official word from the International Red Cross about when and where their siblings had died. One is hit by shock when death is actually pronounced—and this is something different in kind even from one’s direst expectations. My mother...
