Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research, Mizrahi used the Visual History Archive to identify different types of silence, such as omissions in an interviewee\u2019s storytelling, reluctance to speak, impossibility of speaking, silence of the other, and silence as a means of survival. \u201c[I\u2019m looking at] not only silence in testimonies but silence as testimony, reimagining our understanding of silence as a theoretical approach to testimony and witnessing,\u201d Mizrahi said. \u201cSilence as a language and a mark of survival.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n
