Kurzfassung:
Focuses on how Holocaust memory has impacted on Jewish identity as expressed in fictional and non-fictional writings by second generation Israeli and American authors. Not only has the memory of the Holocaust become disturbingly obsessive, it has thrown open questions of Jewish identity and, particularly, the national versus universalistic meaning of being a Jew and Jewishness. Examines works by several writers, showing how they portray the dilemmas of Holocaust memory and post-Holocaust Jewish identity. They reflect common concerns as well as sharp differences, sending a confusing message to the next generation - a problem that needs to be addressed.
