    This extract is part of Tadeusz Borowski’s short story ‘This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen’, which was first published in 1959 (?). It is often used to serve as an indication of Borowski’s argument that the difference between victim and perpetrator was often blurred in the concentration camps, as a victim often had to act as a perpetrator, by valuing his life before anyone elses, in order to secure their survival. In this segment of text, which is towards the end of the short story, Borowski describes the ending of a successful transport cleansing. The transport was from Sosnowiec-Bedzin and the Canada men (the men responsible for sorting and clearing the transports brining new prisoners) are, in the extract, laden with food and clothing.…

    At first glance, one may agree that Marie Umutesi’s autobiography is a truthful testimony about the historical event known as the Rwandan Genocide and its aftermath, but further analysis proves that the terms “truthful” and “testimony” cannot accurately describe Surviving the Slaughter. Using Jacques Derrida’s Demeure and Umutesi’s Surviving the Slaughter, one is able to analyze the meanings of these terms to reveal that, in the context of Umutesi’s writing, they are not completely valid, and the autobiography can instead be described as a genuine attempt to share her memory of her experiences.…
