Visualizing Atrocity takes Hannah Arendt’s provocative and polarizing account of the 1961 trial of Nazi official Adolf Eichmann as its point of departure for reassessing some of the serviceable myths that have come to shape and limit our understanding both of the Nazi genocide and totalitarianism’s broader; constitutive; and recurrent features. These myths are inextricably tied to and reinforced viscerally by the atrocity imagery that emerged with the liberation of the concentration camps at the war’s end and played an especially important; evidentiary role in the postwar trials of perpetrators.

I have been researching this family a quite a lot there is a large amount of alcoholism; depression; and bipolar disorder in the descendants; as well as genius and accomplishment. It is fascinating to read a roster of Tuttle descendants; from Winston Churchill and his "black dog" of chronic depression to Ernest Hemingway in his alcoholism and suicide. My line is also afflicted with of mood disorders and alcoholism; I can trace them back to my great-great-great grandfather.In Elizabeth's case; like many of the people in her immediate family; she may have been a bit "distracted;" which is what psychotic symptoms were called at the time. However; her husband Timothy was what I would call an evil man who victimized and shamed her publicly from the beginning of their marriage. Like most women of the time; Elizabeth was not allowed to tell her story; which was a tragedy. And because of the notorious family history; even if Elizabeth had been heard; she would never have been believed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

She was an older sister to my 6th Great Grandfather. The Tuttle's certainly had temper problems. Brief mention is made of court records citing my 6th GG; Nathaniel Tuttle's; temper. He didn't kill anyone; though! Just told a few people off which didn't bode well in their Puritan Colonial society. Extremely good resource material for genealogy research.I gave the first book to a family member. I ordered a second book for myself. Colorful ancestors. Ava Chamberlain has the best resource references I've seen in a very long time and am beginning to use them for ancestors other than the Tuttle's.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating portrait of early Colonial disfunctional family lifeBy Stella MatherThe famous "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" Minister Jonathan Edwards had a mad grandmother; a fratricidal Uncle and an Aunt who killed her teenage son. But there is more to the story than the strain of violence and depression; there is a portrait of "self-made" American men who easily blamed the victims and moved on to prosperity once the inconvenient women were left behind.From early English settlers in Hartford and New Haven to budding American revolutionaries at Princeton University and Litchfield; CT; including Edwards' infamous descendant Aaron Burr; Ava Chamberlain has uncovered a complicated American past.
