While many of these works have quickly become classics, some have raised new questions about the processes of canonicity. This study concentrates particularly on works in German by Jewish Holocaust survivors written and published approximately fifty years after the fateful cataclysm, focusing on such crucial issues as genre and testimony. Despite the long shadow cast by the Holocaust on subsequent generations, the author shows that narratives on the Holocaust have continued to thrive, offering inventive interpretations of questions that have been thought to defy explanation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«[T]he book provides detailed and thought-provoking analyses of individual texts in their wider literary and historical contexts and a helpful framework for further discussion, and it will clearly be of interest to undergraduate students and scholars in this field.» (Debbie Pinfold, Journal of European Studies)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Binjamin Wilkomirski’s \u003ci\u003eBruchstücke\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) – \u003ci\u003e«Mein verwundetes Herz»: Das Leben der Lilli Jahn 1900-1944\u003c\/i\u003e (2002) – Ruth Klüger’s \u003ci\u003eweiter leben \u003c\/i\u003e(1999) and Other Writings – Jakob Littner’s Palimpsest – Jean Améry and the Accidental Jew – Victor Klemperer’s \u003ci\u003eIch will Zeugnis ablegen bis zum letzten: Tagebücher 1933-1945 \u003c\/i\u003e(1995) – Marcel Reich-Ranicki’s \u003ci\u003eMein Leben \u003c\/i\u003e(1999) – Jan Philipp Reemtsma or «the fortune to have been born late» (\u003ci\u003edie Gnade der späten Geburt\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043744121175,"sku":"9783039118571","price":42.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783039118571.jpg?v=1750959303","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/poetry-and-truth-variations-on-holocaust-testimony-9783039118571","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
