Abstract

This article offers an example of historians and survivors working together that moves beyond oral history. Drawing on methods of co-producing knowledge, the article explores a number of themes and concepts - ghetto, camp, mobility, dislocation, space, time - that emerge from the experience of survivor Agnes Kaposi, and the historiographical reflections of historian Tim Cole. While the dialogue is suggestive of new conceptualizations of familiar Holocaust experience - ghettoization as practice; dislocation as temporal and spatial experience; 'luck' as intersectional category; the significance of micro-geographies to survival - it also signals the value of coproducing 'integrated' and 'relational' histories of the Holocaust together.
