This book engages with cultural memory in literature and other media of the second and third generations of Holocaust survivors who are confronted with language loss, language acquisition and multiple issues of translation of inherited and received cultural memory.

This volume engages with memory of the Holocaust as expressed in literature, film, and other media. It focuses on the cultural memory of the second and third generations of Holocaust survivors, while also taking into view those who were children during the Nazi period. Language loss, language acquisition, and the multiple needs of translation are recurrent themes for all of the authors discussed. By bringing together authors and scholars (often both) from different generations, countries, and languages, and focusing on transgenerational and translational issues, this book presents multiple perspectives on the subject of Holocaust memory, its impact, and its ongoing worldwide communication.

Bettina Hofmann teaches American studies at the University of Wuppertal. She recently co-edited the volumes Life Writing: Lives in Focus of PraxisEnglish and Performing Ethnicity, Performing Gender: Transcultural Perspectives. Ursula Reuter is director of Germania Judaica, Köln Library on the History of German Jewry.
