Belated interventions. 330 $aCombining cultural history and literary analysis, this study proposes a new and thought-provoking reading of the changing relationship between Germans and Jews following the Holocaust. Two Holocaust survivors whose work became uniquely successful in the Germany of the 1980s and 1990s, Grete Weil and Ruth Kluger, emerge as exemplary in their contributions to a postwar German discussion about the Nazi legacy that had largely excluded living Jews. While acknowledging that the German audience for the works of Holocaust survivors began to change in the 1980s, this study disputes the common tendency to interpret this as a sign of greater willingness to confront the Holocaust, arguing instead that it resulted from a continued German misreading of Jews' criticisms. By tracing the particular cultural-political impact that Weil's and Kluger's works had on their German audience, it investigates the paradox of Germany's confronting the Holocaust without necessarily confronting the Jews as Germans. Furthermore, for the authors this literature also had a psychological impact: their 'return' to the German language and to Germany is read not as an act of mourning or nostalgia, but rather as a public call to Germans for a dialogue about the Nazi past, as a way to move into the public realm the private emotional and psychological battles resulting from German Jews' exclusion from and persecution by their own national community. 410 0$aStudies in European Culture and History,$x2945-6282 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aFiction 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aModern History 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies 606 $aFiction Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 676 $a830.9/8924 700 $aBos$b Pascale R$01794327 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970110403321 996 $aGerman-Jewish Literature in the Wake of the Holocaust$94334876 997 $aUNINA
