Some wrote simply to process the contradictory bits of news they received; some wrote so that their children, already safe in another country, might one day understand what had happened to their parents; and some wrote to furnish unknown readers in the outside world with evidence against the Nazi regime.Were these diarists resisters, or did the process of writing make the ravages of the Holocaust even more difficult to bear? Drawing on an astonishing array of unpublished and published diaries from all over German-occupied Europe, historian Alexandra Garbarini explores the multiple roles that diary writing played in the lives of these ordinary women and men. A story of hope and hopelessness, Numbered Days offers a powerful examination of the complex interplay of writing and mourning. And in these heartbreaking diaries, we see the first glimpses of a question that would haunt the twentieth century: Can such unimaginable horror be represented at all?DiariesHistory and criticismHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)HistoriographyHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Personal narrativesHistory and criticismHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literatureJewsDiariesHistory and criticismWorld War, 1939-1945Personal narrativesHistory and criticismElectronic books.DiariesHistory and criticism.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Historiography.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Personal narrativesHistory and criticism.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature.JewsDiariesHistory and criticism.World War, 1939-1945History and criticism.940.53/18072Garbarini Alexandra1973-1027359MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451373303321Numbered days2442740UNINA
