[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
This essay explores the way the Holocaust is represented in Israeli texts. It provides a clear and succinct overview of the history of the Israeli fictional response to the Holocaust, from the early years in Palestine and Israel right after the war to the present. The chapter then goes on to explore how various seminal Israeli texts have engaged the Israeli national myth of coming home and of redemption through a critical rereading of the happy domestic space, the home.
