This book examines the emergence and transformations of Holocaust memory in socialist Yugoslavia and the post-Yugoslav territories. It considers literary texts about the Holocaust by Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav authors, placing their works in the historical and discursive context in which they were created and taking into account their reception at the time. The book shows how writers from different generations (the generation of survivors, the intergeneration, and the second and third generations) use the Holocaust as a motif to understand extreme violence, both local and global. This work offers comparative studies of the works of internationally known and translated authors such as Danilo Kiš and David Albahari, as well as several forgotten authors whom this study re-discovers. By focusing on the works of Jewish and non-Jewish authors of three generations, the book sheds light on the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of transgenerational transmission of Holocaust memory in the Yugoslav context.
