“Among the most powerful works of literary criticism I have read in many years. The focus on literary production in the ghettos is both literary criticism/history and Holocaust history and should be taken seriously in both fields. A must-read.” -- Naomi Seidman, University of Toronto “The first scholarly account of the literature written in theghettos that takes it seriously as literature. The consequences forour understanding of the ghettos as a historical phenomenon, ofthe lives lived there, and of the way that these lives have beenremembered, memorialized, and understood, are profound.” -- Na’ama Rokem, University of Chicago “Sven-Erik Rose has written a work of immense erudition andscholarly acumen. His portrait of literature produced under circumstances horrific or worse is masterful. A fluent, persuasiveargument for the importance of writing—much of it nowforgotten or neglected—that he resurrects with rare skill.” -- Steven J. Zipperstein, Stanford University
