Th is b ook offers a survey of post-World War II German-language post-memorial writing. An analysis of the books by Heinrich Böll, Günter Grass, and Wolfgang Koeppen e xposes the difficult path of German writing about the Holocaust.

The various attempts by the current generation of authors to bridge th is divide reflect the renewed interest and changed attitude s towards the Holocaust that emerged in Germany after R eunification. Included in this volume are W. G. Sebald's imaginary dialogue between a victim and a perpetrator, Ursula Krechel's exploration of Jewish life in Shanghai from a Jewish perspective, Iris Hanika's presentation of the distraught mindset of a member of Germany's second perpetrator generation, and Kevin Vennemann's narrative about a Jewish child in the midst of a Polish massacre.
