Abstract:
Holocaust literature comprises all forms of writing, both documentary and discursive, that have shaped the public memory of the Holocaust and been shaped by it. Delineates the process of public memory which has evolved in five phases and discusses each one: wartime memory (1938-1945); communal memory (1945-1960); displaced memory (1960-1978); personalized memory (1978-1991); and essential memory (1991-present).
