Abstract

The critical approach KL Reich (1963) by Catalan writer Joaquim Amat-Piniella should take into account the fact that the book as symbol rather then the literary text has has found its place among the icons that represent today’s memory of the Spanish Republicans deported to Mauthausen whose memory has been constructed around very stagnated common places. This article follows briefly the reception of KL Reich in light of these common places to point to the tension between reception and memorial representation. I will conclude by commenting one of the the specific contribution of KL Reich to the representation and knowledge of the Spanish deportation in Nazi camps.

 

Keywords: KL Reich; Joaquim Amat-Piniella; Deportation; Spaniards in Mauthausen; literature of concentration camps.
