Overview

Based on exemplary post-1945 works of (German-)Jewish authors, the contributions to this volume sound out the polyphonic 'resonance chamber', in which diverse forms of remigration to Germany or Austria are delineated. Quite often within these texts - most of which are autobiographically influenced - the high hopes for a new beginning culminate into the painful realisation that there is just no way back to the 'lost time' before the Shoah. The case studies analyze, inter alia, works of Jean Amery, Hannah Arendt, Sammy Gronemann, Hans Mayer, Amoz Oz, Doron Rabinovici, Margarete Susman and Arnold Zweig. The present volume is the result of two years of interdisciplinary cooperation by young scholars from Israel and Germany.
