This is a meditation on memory and on the ways in which memory has
operated in the work of writers for whom the Holocaust was a
defining event. It is also an exploration of the ways in which
fiction and drama have attempted to approach a subject so resistant
to the imagination. Beginning with W. G. Sebald, for whom memory
and the Holocaust were the roots of a special fascination, Bigsby
moves on to consider those writers Sebald himself valued, including
Arthur Miller, Anne Frank, Primo Levi and Peter Weiss, and those
whose lives crossed in the bleak world of the camps, in fact or
fiction. The book offers a chain of memories. It sets witness
against fiction, truth against wilful deceit. It asks the question
who owns the Holocaust - those who died, those who survived to bear
witness, those who appropriated its victims to shape their own
necessities.
