Book Description

"The writers analysed range from Anne Frank and Saul Friedlander, to Ida Fink, Louis Begley, and W. G. Sebald; topics covered include the Kindertransport experience, exile to Siberia, living in hiding, Jewish children masquerading as Christian, and ghetto diaries. The texts discussed here use a variety of distinctive techniques, including chora, split-time, and fragmentary narration, in order to represent historical atrocity through the eyes of children."--BOOK JACKET.
