Abstract
"Bearing Proxy-Witness" explores the relationship between ghostwriting and proxy-witnessing an historical trauma. Focusing on a collection of letters written by a member of Patton's Third Army who liberated Nazi concentration camps, this essay examines the effects of writing another's experience-across national and generational geographies-in the construction of identity.
