Les survivants des camps nazis, dans leur grande majorité, n'ont été ni lus ni écoutés à l'époque de leur retour. Or de la centaine de récits de témoignage parus en France et en Italie au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ceux que l'on connaît aujourd'hui se comptent probablement sur les doigts d'une main. Cet ouvrage nous replonge dans la période de l'immédiat après-guerre pour redonner une voix à ces rescapés qui ont écrit leurs souvenirs à chaud sous le coup d'une irrépressible pulsion de témoigner. Allant au-delà d'une simple constatation de l'indicible apparenté trop souvent à l'± impossibilité de dire ?, l'on découvre ainsi une multiplicité remarquable de techniques linguistiques et littéraires mises en œuvre par les survivants pour transmettre une part de leur vécu concentrationnaire à leurs lecteurs. Il s'agit d'une étude essentielle sur les divers moyens d'expression d'une expérience de l'extrême, alors que nous entrons, au XXIe siècle, dans une nouvelle ère de bouleversements politiques.

"Comment lire les récits de vie déposés au centre d'archives (CDJC) du Mémorial de la Shoah à Paris? La question est ici abordée par une double analyse dont les deux aspects suivants sont mêlés: 1) l'analyse de ces récits eux-mêmes en nouant les approches linguistiques, littéraires, historiques qui rendent compte, ensemble, du fonctionnement du genre testimonial par rapport au lieu de production, de diffusion et de réception dans lequel il s'inscrit; 2) l'analyse de l'espace institutionnel qui conserve et met à disposition ces récits aux multiples fonctions, heuristique, pédagogique, esthétique et éthique. Initialement écrits dans l'intimité des familles, ces textes changent en effet de statut lorsqu'ils sont déposés dans un centre d'archives comme celui du Mémorial. Cette institution leur confère une visibilité potentielle et elle offre aux scripteurs la possibilité de se réclamer d'une appartenance collective. Elle engendre donc un surcroît de significations tant pratiques que théoriques que l'ouvrage tente de démêler."--

Among historical events of the 20th century, the Holocaust is unrivaled as the subject of both scholarly and literary writing. Literary responses include not only thousands of autobiographical and fictional texts written by survivors, but also, more recently, works by writers who are not survivors but nevertheless feel compelled to write about the Holocaust. Writers from what is known as the 'second generation' have produced texts that express their feeling of being powerfully marked by events of which they have had no direct experience. This book expands the commonly-used definition of 'second-generation literature,' which refers to texts written from the perspective of the children of survivors, to include texts written from the point of view of the children of Nazi perpetrators. With its innovative focus on the literary legacy of both groups, it investigates how second-generation writers employ similar tropes of stigmatization to express their troubled relationships to their parents' histories. Through readings of nine American, German, and French literary texts, Erin McGlothlin demonstrates how an anxiety with signification is manifested in the very structure of second-generation literature, revealing the extent to which the literary texts themselves are marked by the continuing aftershocks of the Holocaust. Erin McGlothlin is assistant professor of German at Washington University in St. Louis.

This important study examines women's life writing about the Second World War and the Holocaust, such as memoirs, diaries, docunovels, and autobiographically inspired fiction. Through a historical and literary study of the complex relationship between gender, genocide, and female agency, the analyzes correct androcentric views of the Second World War and seek to further our understanding of a group that, although crucial to the functioning of the National Socialist regime, has often been overlooked: that of the complicit bystander. Chapters on army auxiliaries, nurses, female refugees, rape victims, and Holocaust survivors analyze women's motivations for enlisting in the National Socialist cause, as well as for their continuing support for the regime and, in some cases, their growing estrangement from it. The readings allow insights into the nature of complicity itself, the emergence of violence in civil society, and the possibility of social justice.
