Writing the Child: Fictions of Memory in German Postwar Literature

By Susanne Baackmann

Writing the Child considers the evolution of German cultural memory concerning wartime trauma and victimhood. In dialogue with the voices of German war children, the Kriegskinder, the texts analysed echo but also contest exculpatory victimologies that have shaped German memory frameworks from the 1940s up to the post-1989 present.
