Summary

This text explores the transformation of the status " victim " in the past years. Since the Eichmann Trial in 1961 witnesses and victims, i. e. witnesses as victims have come in full light. The rise of the victim is consistent with that of the present, as a key element of our current relationship to time, which I call presentism.
