Representations of the World War II in the West German literature by authors from three different generations
FLORIÁN, Pavel
Using the comparative reading method of texts by Wolfgang Borchert, Uwe Timm and Julia Franck this bachelor thesis compares the differences in historical and cultural memory of the World War II within the West German society. Each author belongs to a different generation of authors which all have had a different opinion about the War. The thesis therefore explores the texts separately at first, noticing their most important elements related to the World War II. Consequently, the component findings are compared in the final part of the thesis and lead to conclusions about what the opinions of the respective generations have in common and where they differ.
