Abstract:
Suggests that Aichinger deals with the dilemma of writing about Nazi persecution by seeing it through the eyes of Jewish children and of the half-Jewish child heroine. Their perception is only of what is happening to them and of what they would wish to happen to them; it refuses to fit into a broader, integrated historical narrative. Thus Aichinger distances herself from most of the postwar literature that attempts to "cope with the Holocaust", and which was condemned by Adorno.
