Description

This study examines two neglected genres: descriptions of journeys to Auschwitz and anthologies of the last letters of executed resistance fighters. More specifically, it regards them as what Christoph Klessmann calls “asymmetrically interwoven parallel histories” of antifascism in both postwar Germanys. Close readings of the paratexts reveal an appeal in their relationships with the addressee.
