Discusses the overlapping genres of fiction and non-fiction in late 20th-century Holocaust literature, with particular reference to the works of Emil Fackenheim and to Isabelle Leitner's "Fragments of Isabella" (1978) and Binjamin Wilkomirski's "Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood" (1995). Their effect on the author is to render her "individually responsible for the Holocaust story."
