From the very beginning, writing about the Holocaust has been shaped by considerations of form, the limits of language, and the (im)possibilities of conveying knowledge to future generations. In recent years, literary studies have undertaken various attempts to define ›Holocaust literature,‹ focusing on questions of genre, different time periods, themes, and experiences. In the integrated history of the Holocaust, ego-documents came to the attention of scholars with a focus on agency, experience and factuality. The contributors to this volume take up these debates and bring together literary and historical perspectives on Holocaust literature and ego-documents to discuss their relevance for Holocaust studies.
