The Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction aims to
increase the visibility and show the versatility of works from
East-Central European countries. It is the first encyclopedic work
to bridge the gap between the literary production of countries that
are considered to be main sites of the Holocaust and their
recognition in international academic and public discourse. It
contains over 100 entries offering not only facts about the content
and motifs but also pointing out the characteristic fictional
features of each work and its meaning for academic discourse and
wider reception in the country of origin and abroad. The
publication will appeal to the academic and broader public
interested in the representation of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism,
and World War II in literature and the arts. Besides prose, it also
considers poetry and theatrical plays from 1943 through 2018. An
introduction to the historical events and cultural developments in
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Czech, and Slovak Republic, and their
impact on the artistic output helps to contextualise the motif
changes and fictional strategies that authors have been applying
for decades. The publication is the result of long-term scholarly
cooperation of specialists from four countries and several dozen
academic centres.
