Text as Resistance in Holocaust Literature

"Text as Resistance in Holocaust Literature" offers an in-depth analysis of the experiences of three significant Holocaust survivors and writers: Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi, and Charlotte Delbo. These authors, who come from diverse linguistic, economic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, poignantly reflect on how their Holocaust experiences have shaped their self-perception and identity. The book examines how each of these writers documents the dehumanizing influences of the concentration camps while simultaneously using writing as an act of resistance against this past. Through their unique perspectives, it becomes clear how literature serves as a means of coping and maintaining humanity amidst inhumanity.
