Abstract:
Fuks’ novella "Spalovač mrtvol" ("The Cremator", 1967), was for a long time relegated to the genre of horror literature; only in recent years have its connections to the Holocaust been discussed. Concludes that the novel must be viewed as Holocaust literature, although it does not refer to the Holocaust directly. It relates mainly to the period of the build-up to the Holocaust, the role of the Czech middle class, and Czech collaboration.
