" 'Il restera les livres, disait Jorge Semprun. Les récits littéraires, du moins, qui dépasseront le simple témoignage, qui donneront à imaginer, même s'ils ne donnent pas à voir... Il y aura peut-être une littérature des camps... je dis bien : une littérature, pas seulement du reportage...' Les textes réunis dans ce volume ont été écrits entre 1946 et 1994 par des survivants des camps nazis. Ces survivants partagent un même dessein : témoigner de l'expérience qui a été la leur, la rendre mémorable dans une langue - le français - qu'ils ont reçue en héritage ou dont ils ont fait le choix. Moins en rapportant des épisodes extrêmes, des moments limites, qu'en rendant compte de l'ordinaire du temps concentrationnaire, sur quoi la mort règne et dans lequel s'effacent les formes et figures de l'humain. Tous constatent que les mots manquent pour exprimer une telle insulte à l'espèce humaine. 'On ne se comprenait pas' (Antelme). 'Il n'y a rien à expliquer' (Cayrol). L'écriture touche là aux limites de son pouvoir. Dans une entreprise de cet ordre, impossible de satisfaire aux exigences de transparence et de véridicité généralement associées au langage quand il se fait témoignage. Pour que l'indéchiffrable monde des camps échappe, si peu, si partiellement que ce soit, à l'incommunicable, pour que quelque chose existe qui relève de la transmission, chacun de ces écrivains doit explorer l'envers du langage et approfondir la 'réalité rêvée de l'écriture' (Semprun). C'est à 'la vérité de la littérature' (Perec) qu'il revient de préserver la vérité de la vie. Littérature. Le mot peut paraître sans commune mesure avec l'objet de tels récits. Il ne choquait pas leurs auteurs. C'est que la part littéraire ne relève pas chez eux d'un savoir-faire ou d'une rhétorique, moins encore d'un désir d'esthétisation. Mais d'un souci éthique de la forme, d'une morale du style."--Publisher's website

"The internment of ‘enemy aliens’ by the British government in two world wars remains largely hidden from history. British historians have treated the subject – if at all – as a mere footnote to the main narrative of Britain at war. In the ‘Great War’, Britain interned some 30,000 German nationals, most of whom had been long-term residents. In fact, internment brought little discernible benefit, but cruelly damaged lives and livelihoods, breaking up families and disrupting social networks. In May 1940, under the threat of imminent invasion, the British government interned some 28,000 Germans and Austrians, mainly Jewish refugees from the Third Reich. It was a measure which provoked lively criticism, not least in Parliament, where one MP called the internment of refugees ‘totally un-English’. The present volume seeks to shed more light on this still submerged historical episode, adopting an inter-disciplinary approach to explore hitherto under-researched aspects, including the historiography of internment, the internment of women, deportation to Canada, and culture in internment camps, including such notable events as the internment revue What is Life!"--Provided by publisher.
