Abstract

After the publication of Images, malgré tout [1] in 2003, where the complex relation between experience and representation is clearly and thoroughly analyzed, George Didi-Huberman travels to Auschwitz-Birkenau for the first time in June 2011: “as other thousands of tourists, thousands of pilgrims or the few hundreds of survivors –some of them get confused with the others– I ’visit’ this capital of evil, the evil that man knows how to inflict on man” (p. 29).
