Abstrakt
Utitz examines in his review of Adlers book Theresienstadt 1941-1945: Antlitz einer Zwangsgemeinschaft the general question of the status of a victim. He refuses Adler's conception of the concentration camp as an epitome of powerlessness.
Instead, he stresses the spontaneity of the victim and the possibility to be spiritually and culturally active even under the conditions of a concentration camp.
