The Trauma of the Shoah in Texts by Jewish Authors of the Second and Third Generation - A Comparison
Baláková, Anna ; Schneider, Thomas (advisor) ; Weinberg, Manfred (referee)
This thesis is about the trauma of the Shoah and the attempts of its literary processing by three generations of Jewish authors. The work focuses on the processes of transmission of the trauma from the generation of the Shoah victims to the subsequent generations and elaborates similarities and differences of the respective coping attempts. Ruth Klüger's weiter leben and Art Spiegelman's Mouse are examples for first and second generation. The third generation, which is a main subject of this thesis, is depicted in Channah Trzebiner's text Die Enkelin. Subsequently, based on several scientific studies on the subject, a detailed textual analysis of a tradition of traumatic experiences is presented. These traumatic experiences still have influence on the descendants and thus on the construction of a current Jewish identity.
