- This interdisciplinary, multilingual study refuting the myth that there is no category of postwar Holocaust fiction by Jewish survivors is the product of a sustained research effort at the intersection of multiple theoretical contexts. Though illustrated with primary texts in German and Dutch, its contention extends beyond this context to first-generation Holocaust writing in general. Informed by research in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, it embeds this contention in international debates regarding theoretical and representational responses to the Holocaust in the age of postmodernism and the posttraumatic, mapping a blindspot in deconstruction, trauma theory, postmemory studies, and non-Jewish ‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung’.
