I don't know about the issue of  Diacritics you mention, but my references
are in part to Lyotard's "Heidegger and "the jews," that is to his the
Forgotten which is remembered as forgotten. I translate this as neither
remembered nor forgotten. Still, alhough the answer may be obvious and the
question irelevant, I feel a need to ask: why are victims closes to justice? 
In so far as this question refers one back to the question of community for
which sake one inquires into justice/injustice, there may be something in it.
Thanks for the reference on Lyotard in Diacritics. I'll try to find it in the
library.
Can somebody tell me how to include the message that I am responding to,
besides by copying it and transfering it to my message?
Thanks
Petar

I'm not sure why, and not exactly certain where the reference is (althoug 
I think its in the special Lyotard issue of Diacritics from some time 
ago) and don't have time to dig for it now, but I am reminded here of the 
discussion of the victims of the gas chambers, that through death, their 
voices are silenced and they cannot serve as a testament to their own 
victim-ness.
I'm uncertain of where this would fit into the discussion right now, but 
its an interesting thread nonetheless, one that has always bothered me to 
a certain extent.
In the meantime, I'm going to double check this, but. . .
