Abstract:
Die erste englischsprachige Studie von Albert Drachs (1902-1995) Prosawerk erforscht die Originalität der Drachschen Autobiographie im Kontext der aktuellen Holocaust-Debatten. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird insgesamt der Beziehung zwischen Drachs komisch-grotesker Sprache und der melancholischen Art der Darstellung in der Holocaust-Trilogie gewidmet. Leidenschaftlich und kritisch zugleich stellt Drachs Prosa die totalitären Machtmechanismen seiner Zeit bloß.
Abstract:
The first English language study of Albert Drach's (1902-1995) prose work explores the originality of Drach's autobiography in the context of current Holocaust debates. Special attention is paid throughout to the relationship between Drach's comic-grotesque language and the melancholy mode of representation in the Holocaust trilogy. Both passionate and critical, Drach's prose lays bare the totalitarian power mechanisms of his time.
