{"product_id":"translated-memories-transgenerational-perspectives-on-the-holocaust-9781793606082","title":"Translated Memories: Transgenerational","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume engages with memory of the Holocaust as expressed in literature, film, and other media. It focuses on the cultural memory of the second and third generations of Holocaust survivors, while also taking into view those who were children during the Nazi period. Language loss, language acquisition, and the multiple needs of translation are recurrent themes for all of the authors discussed. By bringing together authors and scholars (often both) from different generations, countries, and languages, and focusing on transgenerational and translational issues, this book presents multiple perspectives on the subject of Holocaust memory, its impact, and its ongoing worldwide communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated Memories grew out of a conference held in Essen, Germany, in July 2015. As editors Hofmann (Univ. of Wuppertal, Germany) and Reuter (Germania Judaica, Cologne Library on the History of German Jewry) state in the introduction, their “interest is in specific cases of Holocaust memory as expressed in different languages and media by members of the second and third generations of Holocaust survivors.\" Another crucial point of interest for them \"is the mode of translation ... [understood] both literally and metaphorically.” The resulting 22 essays are groundbreaking in their conceptual diversity, many of them insightful and well researched and enriched by, and sometimes paired with, compelling personal stories by the children and grandchildren of survivors. The existing literature on Holocaust memory is already vast, yet these essays put forth new and invaluable ideas that seek to answer how \"later-born authors approach memories transmitted by surviving family members.” Of particular note are the five essays in part 4 (“Objects and What to Make of Them”), which look at the special significance of memories carried by simple objects handed down through generations. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.\u003c\/p\u003e * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a groundbreaking addition to two emergent fields: the study of the linguistic and cultural translation of Holocaust texts, and the study of intergenerational memory. It is a must-read for scholars in the field. -- Andrea Hammel, co-editor of Translating Holocaust Lives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue: On Taking Renuka to Her First Concert \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnne Ranasinghe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBettina Hofmann and Ursula Reuter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLanguage and Memory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Tongue in Exile\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarol Ascher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e02\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslating Oral Memory and Visual Media in Ida Fink’s “Traces”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaniel Feldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e03\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLies of Ulysses in the Forgotten Camps: French Accounts by Mittelbau-Dora Survivors and Their Uses in Memory Politics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruno Arich-Gerz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e04\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrench Canada as a Site of Holocaust Representation \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Margolis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaking Sense of the Parents’ Holocaust History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e05\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Intimate Horror: Memorializing my Mother’s Holocaust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoron Ben-Atar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e06\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInvisible Ink: The Limits of Recovery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulia Epstein and Lori Hope Lefkovitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Impact of the Shoah on One Scholar’s Journey: An Autobiographical Reflection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteven Leonard Jacobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e08\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst Forgetting: An Essay in Three Parts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Rosner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.5 Generation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e09\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHebrew as “Remedy” to the Shoah in Dan Pagis’ Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFederico Dal Bo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVicarious Witnesses and Translation in Kindertransport Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristoph Houswitschka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween Grief and Celebration\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNaomi Shmuel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Girl—1943: on reading Karen Gershon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Swann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart IV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObjects and What to Make of Them\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing to German\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Aronowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslating Memory: The Lagertagebuch kept by Isy Aronowitz (1940-43) and Five Amber Beads (2006) by Richard Aronowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristoph Heyl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFound Objects: The Legacy of Third-Generation Holocaust Memory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictoria Aarons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy Don’t You Talk to Me?
