Memory Work
by Nina Fischer
"Memory work makes a contribution to our understanding of the intimate effects of the Holocaust on victims' famillies, and the significant role of 'memory work' by survivors' children withing the broader frame of cultural memory in the English-speaking countries of post-war jewish diasporas. It studies how these authors explore the past in their literary texts - primarily life writing."
