Forgetting to Remember - Religious Remembrance and the Literary Response to the Holocaust (Hardcover)

This is the first comparative analysis of literary responses to the Holocaust by three pairs of authors: Paul Celan and Geoffrey Hill; Gunter Grass and Imre Kertesz; Peter Weiss and Samuel Beckett. Forgetting to Remember considers their responses to the Holocaust, and shows how their writings position themselves in relation to religious processes of remembrance. The deep interconnections between remembrance of the Holocaust in these different literary genres and the forms of address involved in various rituals of Judeo-Christian remembrance are all examined. This new approach will be of great interest to academics within the field of Holocaust Studies. As well, it is profoundly significant for the practical public discussion about how to live after the Holocaust.
