Summary / Abstract:
ENThis book is devoted to narratives of the survivors of some of the worst sites of human suffering in the twentieth century - the Soviet Gulag and the Nazi concentration camps. The works chosen for analysis are those literary representations of the Gulag that can shed light on narratives of the KZ (the Konzentrantsionslager) and, conversely, those narratives of Nazi camp survivors that provide indirect comments on the Gulag and its literature.1 [...] This study combines close readings of individual works with historical contextualization. The analysis is intercontextual: each of the two literary strands is seen as a context for the other. [...].
