Description
Summary:“Are history and literature strangers or bedfellows?” Ruth Klüger asked provocatively in the late 1990s. As scholarship on the intersections of literature, history, and memory of the Holocaust (including Klüger’s own) has made abundantly clear, a multi-disciplinary inquiry into this intricate relationship not only offers fruitful avenues for untangling and complicating narratives of past and present, but also diversifies our understanding of the scope of modern war and genocide., A case in point is Elisabeth Krimmer’s thought-provoking new study.
