This volume engages with memory of the Holocaust as expressed in
literature, film, and other media. It focuses on the cultural
memory of the second and third generations of Holocaust survivors,
while also taking into view those who were children during the Nazi

of translation are recurrent themes for all of the authors

from different generations, countries, and languages, and focusing
on transgenerational and translational issues, this book presents
multiple perspectives on the subject of Holocaust memory, its
impact, and its ongoing worldwide communication.
