Abstract

This article inquires into the multiple variables that come into play in the construction and analysis of second and third generation narratives of Holocaust survivors. In this effort, the author presents an autobiographical text, which includes personal documents such as letters and pictures to discuss new criteria and categories among which controversies about the possibility of a post-memory among Holocaust second and third generations has a fundamental role.
