Abstract

 

This paper aims to discuss strategies of memory construction about the lager as seen in women authors deported by the Nazis. In particular, the works of Milly and Delbo will be analyzed, two of the most personal female voices of Shoa literature, who are defined by their fragmentary poetry where obsessive rewriting of some events and episodes bears a paramount importance. I therefore consider interesting to approach these two autors in parallel, thus overcoming the boundaries of national literatures, so that some likely thematic and structural coincidences will be evidenced. The paper also intends to verify existing general hypotheses about specific features of women’s concentrationary literature.

 

Keywords: Charlotte Delbo; Liana Millu; memory; Shoah literature; gender perspective.
