Thanks, Kali. I had your essay from Marc's book in mind when it came to
warning them about the negative side, but I also wanted to explore what
it means to bear witness. Your other references will be a big help when
I get back. Thanks a bunch.
I'm rather a fan of the Beidler book tho' haven't read it in years.
What do you think of the Ringnalda book?

Don't know if this is what you had in mind, Randy, but Kali Tal's
recent book _World's of Hurt: Reading the Literatures of Trauma_ makes
some useful comparative analyses between Holocaust literature, fiction by
Vietnam combat veterans, and the survivors of rape/incest. Perhaps
excerpts from this would serve your purpose.
