Abstract
The article considers the Holocaust as a socio-cultural phenomenon of memory that defines the memorial field of human experience today. The role and characteristics of the victim and victim narratives are analyzed both in the General theoretical context of trauma and within the discourse about the Holocaust. In today's construction of the Holocaust, it is proposed to identify a broader sacrificial group of the European audience, which relates itself to Holocaust survivors and experiences symbolic trauma itself. In the architecture of trauma, the key figure is the victim and her experiences, and researchers distinguish the type of “victim-witness "or “moral witness". It is noted that the perception of victims ' memories as authentic is largely determined by whether the memories correspond to normative social attitudes. The Central role of witnesses was made possible by the victimization of European traumatic discourse. In Russia, the victims of the Holocaust are still relegated to the background, as a “progressive” narrative continues to develop in relation to the Shoah, bringing to the fore the heroism of the fighters against the fascist regime.
