Vladek's Testimony Of Vladek Testimony

Furthermore, there may be ways in which the book may be problematic as a histocal analysis. It is possible that many may doubt the accuracy of the Vladek’s testimony. As he is an older gentlemen and Art incorporates his toubled heart, and mental state as well as his tendency to forget him counting his pills. Which can insert doubt to many who read this including myself. I did in fact doubt the legitimacy of Vladek’s testimonies at one point as he forgot something that happened a couple of minutes before but was able to remember something that happened many years ago. But I thought to myself that something so horrific and scaring would be hard to ever forget as much as you try. Moreover, Spiegelman is basing all this on one testimony it is not
like he went beyond that. History always relies on human memory and at times can be very unreliable. The human brain is not a computer and can at times fail to remember things, or sometimes mistake something they read or saw as a memory. Additionally, the interviewer can exaggerate they’re experiences in order to suit the audiences expectations and in order to get a better story out of it. However, historians agree that testimonies are the most credible sources out there.
