Of Sources and Files
(2019)
Files produced by the secret police forces of former Eastern Bloc countries are complex documents, not completely reliable and yet not fully untrustworthy either—or as the British historian Timothy Garton Ash has remarked, “There is a truth that can be found [in a secret police file]. Not a single, absolute Truth with a capital T but still a real and important one” (2002, 282). As historical documents—texts anchored in a time and place and resulting from specific circumstances—files in general “supplement or rework ‘reality’” and are never “mere sources that divulge facts about ‘reality’” (LaCapra 1985, 11)
