So We Died
"So We Died (Azoy zaynen mir geshtorbn) is a translation from the Yiddish of a powerful eyewitness account of life in the Shavl (Šiauliai, Lithuania) ghetto from 1941 to 1944. For two-and-a-half years, 5,000 Jews were confined in the ghetto in Shavl/Šiauliai, Lithuania's third biggest city, which is located between Kovno/Kaunas to the south and Riga, Latvia, to the north. In contrast to other key European ghettos, few documents survive from the Shavl ghetto. Three accounts of the Shavl ghetto years exist, yet to date none has been published in English. Among these accounts, Levi Shalit's stands out for its power, beauty, and vision. Shalit was a true literary stylist who sought to convey t...
Traumatic Verses
"Traumatic Verses provides psychoanalytically informed close readings of a range of poems and discusses their significance for aesthetic theory and for research on the camps. It also tells the stories behind the composition and preservation of these poems and the history of their publication since 1945. Most of the poems appear here for the first time in English translation along with the original texts.This book fills a gap left by literary historians, who have mostly ignored writings from the camps and avoided careful scrutiny of literature produced under the Nazi regime. Studies of trauma have concentrated on post-traumatic experiences; discussions of aesthetics after the Holocaust have neglected the issue of the artistic impulse in the camps. On both counts this book constitutes a unique contribution to scholarship, showing that, when read attentively, the poems written in the camps are invaluable sites for confronting the Nazi past." --book jacket.
"Erzählen heisst, der Wahrheit verschworen sein."
«Erzählen heißt, der Wahrheit verschworen sein.» - Diesem Motto entsprechend schildert Raoul Auernheimer (1876-1948), österreichischer Autor und Angehöriger des «Jung-Wiener-Kreises», das Innenleben des Konzentrationslagers Dachau. Als Augenzeuge und Überlebender hielt Auernheimer es für seine Pflicht, aus Verantwortung für die Toten des Holocaust und als Mahnung für die Lebenden, vom Lagerleben und Lagersterben zu erzählen. Das in der Handschrift erhaltene und hier editierte deutsch- und englischsprachige Manuskript gelangt nun erst - über 70 Jahre nach seiner Niederschrift und über 60 Jahre nach dem Tod seines Autors - ans Licht der Öffentlichkeit. Es ist gleichermaßen ein dokumentarisches Zeugnis wie ein literarisches Kunstwerk, das einen Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung des Holocaust leistet.
Beyond the Limit-experience
Situating the poetry within the wider context of "concentration camp culture," Mole engages in aesthetic and moral issues, offers extensive thematic readings - both of the reality transcribed by the poets and of spiritual and religious resistance to dehumanization - and submits the poetry to a stylistic and linguistic analysis under the joint rubric of memory and innovation.
