Abstract:
Discusses how, after the Holocaust, the Israeli poets Amir Gilboa (born Berl Feldman) and Avot Yeshurun (born Yehiel Perlmutter), who had originally attempted to escape and negate the Diaspora world of East European Jewry, returned in their poetry to their perished families and original homes with memories burdened by guilt. Gilboa's work reflected the Holocaust as early as 1946, while Yeshurun, who was less obsessed with the topic, did so only in the 1960s, but then continued to express for the rest of his life the trauma he felt.
