"Victoria Aarons and Phyllis Lassner expertly demonstrate in their comprehensive and thought-provoking Palgrave Handbook of Holocaust Literature and Culture, this is even truer when the event is the Holocaust, the texts are literary and cultural, and those reassembling them today are already the third generation born since the event. ... Along with the accolades for this remarkable handbook, one can only hope that such a volume will be written in the not-too-distant future." (Judith Tydor Baumel-Schwartz, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, April 29, 2022)
"The Palgrave Handbook of Holocaust Literature and Culture will no doubt become an invaluable contribution to future Holocaust research. ... This collection is a fine example of interdisciplinarity that will support learning and reference for researchers of all interests and abilities. The Palgrave Handbook of Holocaust Literature and Culture will prove itself to be a vital asset to any learner, expressing the sheer potentiality of the field to resonate with an abundance of cultural discussions." (Kieran J. H. Shackleton, Textual Practice, January 13, 2021)

The Palgrave Handbook of Holocaust Literature and Culture reflects current approaches to Holocaust literature that open up future thinking on Holocaust representation. The chapters consider diverse generational perspectives—survivor writing, second and third generation—and genres—memoirs, poetry, novels, graphic narratives, films, video-testimonies, and other forms of literary and cultural expression. In turn, these perspectives create interactions among generations, genres, temporalities, and cultural contexts. The volume also participates in the ongoing project of responding to and talking through moments of rupture and incompletion that represent an opportunity to contribute to the making of meaning through the continuation of narratives of the past. As such, the chapters in this volume pose options for reading Holocaust texts, offering openings for further discussion and exploration. The inquiring body of interpretive scholarship responding to the Shoah becomes itself a story, a narrative that materially extends our inquiry into that history.
