Description

"transcript" is a disturbing document. Using the techniques of concrete and visual poetry, Heimrad B?cker presents quotations from the Holocaust's planners, perpetrators, and victims.

The book offers a startling collection of documents that confront us with details from the bureaucratic world of the Nazis and the intimate worlds they destroyed.

B?cker's sources range from victims' letters and medical charts to train schedules and the telephone records of Auschwitz.

His transcriptions and reworkings of these sources serve as a reminder that everything about the Shoah was spoken about in great detail, from the most banal to the most monstrous. "transcript" shows us that the Holocaust was not "unspeakable," but was an eminently describable and described act spoken about by thousands of people concerned with the precision and even the beauty of their language.
