The present article intends to develop an analysis between two of the books of the french philosopher and art historian, Georges Didi- Huberman. Écorces (2017), first published in 2011 in french language, is made by a first-person narrative of the author while visiting the concentration camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The second book, Essayer Voir (2014), shows a process of essay written in a technical and philosophical way. Its content, however, brings up the same subject of the first one: the images and the heritage from Auschwitz. The dialogue between the books shows how Didi-Huberman
elaborates his concept of image as a dialectical and historical force, based on the works of Walter Benjamin, Primo Levi, and Aharon Appelfeld. Also,
the article reveals how the author develops his answers to the following question: how can we resist such barbarism?
