The work examines specific case studies of Holocaust testimonies and their Chinese translations, analyzing the strategies translators employ to maintain authenticity while making the material accessible to Chinese-speaking audiences. It addresses questions of cultural memory, historical accuracy, and the responsibility of translators in preserving victim narratives.
