In its rigorously researched analysis of Anglo-Jewish women writing
the Holocaust, this book highlights the necessity of their
inclusion in the evolving canon of modern British literature.
Addressing the question of why the Holocaust is still being
written, this study brings together Kindertransport writers, those
of the Second Generation and those writers who have no personal or
communal connection to the Holocaust but who have felt compelled to
testify to the painful adaptations or betrayals of refugees by the
nation which rescued so many.
In her significant critical interpretations of memoirs, plays,
poetry and novels, Lassner shows how these writers complicate
theories of trauma and memory by using fantasy and the Gothic as a
response to silence as well as to the historical and narrative
relationship between endangered European Jews and Britain's
cultural and political responses to them.
