Memory Matters juxtaposes in tripartite structure texts by a child
of German bystanders (Wolf), an Austrian-Jewish child-survivor
(Kluger), a daughter of Jewish emigres (Honigmann), a daughter of
an officer involved in the German resistance (Bruhns), a
granddaughter of a baptized Polish Jew (Maron), and a granddaughter
of German refuges from East Prussia (Duckers). Placed outside of
the distorting victim-perpetrator, Jewish-German, man-woman, and
war-postwar binary, it becomes visible that the texts neither
complete nor contradict each other, but respond to one another by
means of inspiration, reverberation, refraction, incongruity, and
ambiguity. Focusing on genealogies of women, the book delineates a
different cultural memory than the counting of (male-inflected)
generations and a male-dominated Holocaust and postwar literature
canon. It examines intergenerational conflicts and the negotiation
of memories against the backdrop of a complicated mother-daughter
relationship that follows unpredictable patterns and provokes both
discord and empathy. Schaumann's approach questions the assumption
that German-gentile and German-Jewish postwar experiences are
necessarily diametrically opposed (i.e. respond to a "negative
symbiosis") and uncovers intersections and continuities in addition
to conflicts.
