Abstract
McLoughlin argues that in Operation Shylock Roth distorts the Demjanjuk trial to focus maximum attention on the eyewitness testimony of a Treblinka survivor who had previously claimed that Ivan the Terrible was killed but who now identifies him as Demjanjuk. In spotlighting this logical impossibility, Roth suggests an aesthetic and an ethos for representing the Holocaust.
