La littérature allemande après 1945 et la Shoah

While the number of written accounts of the Holocaust rose after the war in many European countries, very little literature was written in German about what it means “to face the extreme,” with the notable exception of the work of certain exiles.

The Holocaust was only indirectly represented in German literature. This is because witnesses’ accounts were often delayed and there was a significant lag before works published in other countries and languages were translated into German. These translations, which arrived in Germany in successive waves, broke through the barrier of repression that had been in place since 1945. They sought to meet the expectations of young Germans who found themselves confronted with the reality of the Nazis’ extermination campaign. This article explores three examples of such translations, each with a different approach. Over the years, translation gave way to new and often very disconcerting ways of addressing the Holocaust through literature, which are now well established. As a result, German authors have felt compelled to create their own literary representations of the Holocaust.Cairn free access
