life story, life novel, executioners

Mikal Gilmore’s devastating 1994 memoir, “Shot in the Heart,” was part “Brothers Karamazov,” part Johnny Cash ballad, and it was a remarkable bookend to Norman Mailer’s “true life novel” “The Executioner’s Song.”

現在才稍微 翻一下8月買的這本書： 花亦芬《在歷史的傷口上重生：德國走過的轉型正義之路》，2016。
提問：(pp.151152 )Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaus (1996)
 Executioners 是雙關語：翻譯成"自願為希特勒執行命令的人"沒錯，不過原文還有"死刑執行人"的意思。
p.157 的註27，原著說是Aleida Assmann*的書，然而頁156-157的說話者是 Yehuda Bauer。

*北京大學出版社有他的《回憶空間》2016。
