Summary By blending personal memoir and critical analysis, ""Voices of the Survivors ""explores cultural and human responses to the violence of political repression and social disintegration perpetrated in Argentina during the so called ""Dirty War"" of the late '70s and early '80s. Central to the theoretical and critical corpus is the work of scholars writing in response to the historical trauma of the Holocaust (Adorno, La Capra, Shoshana Felman), which posed questions regarding social trauma, the links between mourning and memory, and the role of artistic creation and its value as testimony
