Childrens Literature and the Holocaust

Children's literature and the Holocaust experienced an incredibly cruel collective trauma in the Jewish Europeans of the 1940s. In her work "survivor - parents and their children" taken from the collection of the Holocaust era, Judy Scheinberg believed that the influence of the Holocaust will be left to survivors to nurture children regardless of location It is. The survivors' children were traumatized twice by forcibly treating the Holocaust. And it directly influenced the influence of their parents.

In the years after World War II, few documents on the Holocaust were created. Many Jewish survivors of the Holocaust are trying to restore their lives by rebuilding the destruction of the Nazis and establishing occupations, marriages and births. As the incident faded, the number of survivors gradually increased, and many people began writing memoirs, which made it a way to witness the survivors of the Holocaust. But the poetry about the Holocaust is different. The role of the Holocaust poetry is not clearly defined and may not be clearly defined. As Susan Gubar mentioned in her book Auschwitz concentration camp poetry, Holocaust poetry can be "therapeutic response to disasters". Holocaust poetry can also be taught as a warning or through poetry. Discussion about the purpose of Sydney's poetry can be used to aid in the understanding of poetry about the Holocaust.

In the Holocaust literature there are various genres of literature such as novels, short stories, theater, poetry, diaries, memoirs. This wide range provides teachers with a wide range of course options. Since the Holocaust literature began with a true epic in human history, the story reveals the basic truth of human nature and provides a reliable model of heroism and dignity to young readers. At the same time, it forces them to face the reality of human evil ability.

When discussing fairy tales and children in Holocaust literature, Lawrence Lange discovered that it is only admission that "the fairy tale may be denied, but the history of the Holocaust has been confirmed" (Holocaust 164 -66)) The psychological strategies discussed here are those adopted by children, not only those that are clearly reflected. Extreme children try to direct their new reality through this strategy. In adult visual and written memory works discussed here, fairy tales serve as a means of expressing and interpreting violent childhood landscapes 15. In both cases, I saw the possibility of liberating imagination in work based on a fairy tale. Utopian charm of the story. In this extreme example, this type of charm and the imaginative work it creates depend on the value ultimately desired.
