Summary/Abstract: Bielik-Robson analyses Derrida’s poetics and politics of testimony in the light of his frequently used figure of the Marrano or crypto-Jew. Derrida compared the two forms of being a Jewish witness – a survivor or a Marrano – but he provided no detailed account of this distinction. Bielik-Robson fills this gap by showing that to trust a witness and to have faith in the religious sense are closely related.
