Memory Work

Exploring the intersection of memory and identity, this work examines how Jewish children of Holocaust survivors from the English-speaking diaspora reflect on their heritage through literature. It identifies key manifestations of memory, such as Objects, Names, Bodies, Food, and significant events like Passover and 9/11. The study highlights the ways the Second Generation connects with their pre-Holocaust family history and their parents' experiences of survival, offering insights into the complexities of cultural remembrance.
