This chapter analyzes final or last letters written in three different parts of the transportation and carceral institutions of the Nazis: letters written by those awaiting transportation to the camps, letters written on the train cars and thrown onto the tracks, and letters written by non-Jewish political prisoners in Gestapo prisons. Unlike diaries, which unfold over time, these last letters of Jewish deportees were composed in a single instant and within a certain rhetorical context: last words to loved ones they know they will never see again. Though they are short, often just fragments, these letters are powerful testimonial documents. The situation of Jewish deportees was different than those of non-Jewish political prisoners. The correspondence of Helmuth and Freya von Moltke (aristocratic German opposition leaders), for instance, and Liana Berkowitz (a member of the anti-Nazi Red Orchestra) are longer, containing dozens or hundreds of letters as they awaited execution in Gestapo prisons. These letters, intended as both public and private documents, show their authors changing consciousness as the reality of their impending execution approaches and the development of a “zero generation consciousness”; that is, they articulate what an ethics of non-survival might look like, as the letter writers console themselves and their interlocutors that their deaths were not in vain and that, indeed, death is a more honorable, perhaps the only honorable, decision to make when faced with collaboration or complicity. As such, these letters show that those who died were not passive victims of Nazi genocidal or murderous intention, but active agents who chose to imbue their death with meaning.
