Beschreibungen
<p><span>“Literature of the Holocaust” courses, whether taught in high schools or at universities, necessarily cover texts from a broad range of international contexts. Instructors are required, regardless of their own disciplinary training, to become comparatists and discuss all works with equal expertise. This books offers analyses of the ways in which representations of the Holocaust—whether in text, film, or material culture—are shaped by national context, providing a valuable pedagogical source in terms of both content and methodology. As memory yields to post-memory, nation of origin plays a larger role in each re-telling, and the chapters in this book explore this notion covering well-known texts like</span><span> Night</span><span> (Hungary), </span><span>Survival in Auschwitz (</span><span>Italy</span><span>), MAUS</span><span> (United States), </span><span>This Way to the Gas</span><span> (Poland), and </span><span>The Reader</span><span> (Germany), while also introducing lesser-known representations from countries like Argentina or Australia.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>In this book, scholars with expertise in various national literatures and cultures explore how the Holocaust has been represented in novels, memoirs, film, television, and architecture. This book provides a unique vantage point for the scholar and student to compare how national context impacts representations of the Holocaust.</span></p>
