Two Holocaust survivors whose work became uniquely successful in the Germany of the 1980's and 1990's, Grete Weil and Ruth Kluger, emerge as exemplary in their contributions to a postwar German discussion about the Nazi legacy that had largely excluded living Jews. While acknowledging that the German audience for the works of Holocaust survivors began to change in the 1980's, this study disputes the common tendency to interpret this as a sign of greater willingness to confront the Holocaust, arguing instead that it resulted from a continued German misreading of Jews' criticisms. By tracing the particular cultural-political impact that Weil's and Kluger's works had on their German audience, it investigates the paradox of Germany's confronting the Holocaust without necessarily confronting the Jews as Germans. Furthermore, for the authors this literature also had a psychological impact: their 'return' to the German language and to Germany is read not as an act of mourning or nostalgia, but rather as a public call to Germans for a dialogue about the Nazi past, as a way to move into the public realm the private emotional and psychological battles resulting from German Jews' exclusion from and persecution by their own national community. 410 0$aStudies in European culture and history. 606 $aGerman literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGerman literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a830.9/8924 700 $aBos$b Pascale R$0953064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451100303321 996 $aGerman-Jewish literature in the wake of the Holocaust$92154692 997 $aUNINA
