CiNii 図書 - When night fell : an anthology of Holocaust short stories

Both survivors of the Holocaust and those who were not there agree that it is impossible to tell what happened during the Final Solution. Language cannot express the horrors of such places as Auschwitz. No piece of writing can adequately imagine the concentration camps, ghettos and death camps. And that is precisely why writers must tell - and retell - what happened there. In "When Night Fell: Short Stories of the Holocaust", Linda S. Raphael and Marc Lee Raphael have collected 27 short stories that interpret the Holocaust. Some of the writers included here, such as Aharon Appelfeld, S.Y. Agnon and Yehuda Amichai, are internationally acclaimed authors. Other writers may be new to many readers, although their pieces are equally moving. This international selection includes stories by writers who experienced the Holocaust personally; other authors wrote about it long after the fact. Some pieces look at individual experience; others take a broader view. In addition to the stories selected, "When Night Fell" contains a useful introduction by the editors, putting the stories in context. Also included are a glossary of unfamiliar terms, a chronology of important events and a suggested reading list.

内容説明

Both survivors of the Holocaust and those who were not there agree that it is impossible to tell what happened as the Nazi Final Solution was put into effect. No writing can adequately imagine the concentration camps, ghettos, and death camps. And that is precisely why writers must tell-and retell-what happened there. In When Night Fell: An Anthology of Holocaust Short Stories, Linda Schermer Raphael and Marc Lee Raphael have collected twenty-six short stories that tell of the human toll of the Holocaust on those who survived its horrors, as well as later generations touched by its memory. The stories are framed by discussion of the current debate about who owns the Holocaust and who is entitled to speak about it. Some of the stories included here are by internationally acclaimed authors. Others may be new to many readers. When Night Fell is a fitting memorial to this genocidal horror, putting eloquent voice to human endurance that is-almost-beyond words.
