His assertion that: "The very image of machinery [the Holocaust as done by a "killing machine"] rather than man as the primary instrument of liquidation tends to absolve individual offenders and obscure the identity and the catalyst of the very culprits who initiated and carried out the crime."
His Holocaust Testimonies: The Ruins of Memory, which won the National Books Critics Circle Award in Criticism, is considered by many to be the best, most unflinching account of Jewish oral histories of the holocaust.
Thus, he argues that there is nothing redemptive about the suffering of the victims of the Holocaust, that superficial analyses of many survivors' accounts could have future students blaming the victim instead of the perpetrators, and that those who suffered from the Holocaust relive the experience in what he terms "durational" time.
