  • The essays of Austrian documentary poet and photographer Heimrad Bäcker (1925–2003), collected here along with a selection of his photographs and two of his documentary poems, explore the poetic, philosophical, and political stakes of representing the Holocaust, and constitute a crucial source for considering the critical potential of contemporary literature.
