520			_a"This book explores how different forms of narrative maintain and extend our knowledge of the Holocaust at this critical moment in history when the last survivors are passing away. It develops and uses an original approach that combines key aspects of narrative studies, memory studies, narrative ethics, narrative hermeneutics, narrative psychology, and Holocaust studies. The book shows that testimony, narrative fiction, and film play a key role in forming our individual and collective memory of Nazi Germany's mass murder of around six million Jews. Inspired by narrative hermeneutics, the author conducts narrative analyses that, colored by his perspective as a European born after the Second World War, are linked to and supplement one another in a historicizing movement. After having discussed testimonies given by four Jewish women in chapter 1, chapters 2 and 3 analyze three non-fiction films: Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935), Alain Resnais's Night and Fog (1956), and Claude Lanzmann's Shoah (1985). Chapters 4-7 discuss four novels and one film that, albeit in different ways and more or less directly, are framed and characterized by the historical event of the Holocaust: Jonthan Littell's The Kindly Ones (2006), Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day (1989), James Ivory's film adaptation The Remains of the Day (1993), W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz (2001), and Jenny Erpenbeck's The End of Days (2012). The interpretations demonstrate that written narratives and film narratives can be constructive responses to the ethical challenge of remembering the Holocaust"-- Provided by publisher.
