In this acclaimed book, renowned Harvard scholar Susan Rubin
Suleiman discusses individual and collective memories of World War
II, as reflected in literary memoirs, autobiographical novels,
works of history and philosophy, and films. Suleiman argues that
memories of World War II transcend national boundaries, due not
only to the global nature of the war but also to the increasingly
global presence of the Holocaust as a site of collective memory.
Among the works she discusses are Jean-Paul Sartre's essays on the
Occupation and Resistance in France; Marcel Ophuls's innovative
documentary on the Nazi interrogator Klaus Barbie, who was tried
for crimes against humanity in 1987; Istvan Szabo's film
"Sunshine," a chronicle of Jewish identity in central Europe;
literary memoirs by Jorge Semprun and Elie Wiesel; and experimental
writing by child survivors of the Holocaust, Georges Perec and
Raymond Federman.
