This collection of new essays examines third-generation Holocaust
narratives and the inter-generational transmission of trauma and
memory. This collection demonstrates the ways in which memory of
the Holocaust has been passed along inter-generationally from
survivors to the second-generation-the children of survivors-to a
contemporary generation of grandchildren of survivors-those writers
who have come of literary age at a time that will mark the end of
direct survivor testimony. This collection, in drawing upon a
variety of approaches and perspectives, suggests the rich and fluid
range of expression through which stories of the Holocaust are
transmitted to and by the third generation, who have taken on the
task of bearing witness to the enormity of the Holocaust and the
ways in which this pronounced event has shaped the lives of the
descendants of those who experienced the trauma first-hand. The
essays collected-essays written by renowned scholars in Holocaust
literature, philosophy, history, and religion as well as by
third-generation writers-show that Holocaust literary
representation has continued to flourish well into the twenty-first
century, gaining increased momentum as a third generation of
writers has added to the growing corpus of Holocaust literature.
Here we find a literature that laments unrecoverable loss for a
generation removed spatially and temporally from the extended
trauma of the Holocaust. The third-generation writers, in writing
against a contemporary landscape of post-apocalyptic apprehension
and anxiety, capture and penetrate the growing sense of loss and
the fear of the failure of memory. Their novels, short stories, and
memoirs carry the Holocaust into the twenty-first century and
suggest the future of Holocaust writing for extended generations.
