Abstract:
Discusses the complicated identity formation of child survivors as reflected in four Holocaust novels: Louis Begley's "Wartime Lies" (1997), Henryk Grynberg's "The Jewish War and the Victory" (2001), Bogdan Wojdowski's "Bread for the Departed" (1997), and Imre Kertész's "Fatelessness" (2004). The first two novels deal with the identity problems of children who survived in hiding; the latter two with problems of identity in ghettos and camps.
