Holocaust Narratives : Trauma, Memory and Identity Across Generations, Hardback Book

Holocaust Narratives : Trauma, Memory and Identity Across Generations Hardback

Part of the Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature series

Hardback

Description

Holocaust Narratives: Trauma, Memory and Identity Across Generations analyzes individual multi-generational frameworks of Holocaust trauma to answer one essential question: How do these narratives change to not only transmit the trauma of the Holocaust – and in the process add meaning to what is inherently an event that annihilates meaning – but also construct the trauma as a connector to a past that needs to be continued in the present?

Meaningless or not, unspeakable or not, unknowable or not, the trauma, in all its impossibilities and intractabilities, spawns literary and scholarly engagement on a large scale.

Narrative is the key connector that structures trauma for both individual and collective.
