Interchanges “Read As If for Life”: What Happens When Students Encounter the Literature of the Shoah

Howard Tinberg

Abstract

In any course about the Holocaust, students become engaged, or rather entangled, in ways that I had never dreamed possible in a school setting. The reader becomes the subject of the course as much as Eli Wiesel or Nelly Sachs or Primo Levi. And difficulty becomes the operating principle. Research into readers’ response to Holocaust literature, therefore, becomes imperative, as does research into faculty expectations when assigning the literature of trauma.
