Writing the Holocaust by Zo Waxman
Zoe Waxman examines the full history of Holocaust testimony, from the very first chroniclers confined to Nazi-enforced ghettos, to today's survivors writing as part of collective memory. She reveals the multiplicity of Holocaust experience and how different contexts have given rise to very different modes of remembering.
Writing the Holocaust represents an important contribution to the field of Holocaust studies* Andrea Reiter, Mortality *
a wonderful introduction to Holocaust literature, especially early Holocaust literature; and it is an informed and intelligent discussion, for even the most advanced students of the Holocaust, of the role of literature in shaping our understanding of the Shoah, and understanding the lives and destinies of those victims who did and did not survive (survivors were also victims). * Michael Berenbaum, Journal of Genocide Research *
