The three perspectival approaches that will direct readings and discussion will consist of the following: those writers who themselves experienced the Holocaust, who lived through the immediacy of events and their aftermath and whose first-hand accounts shape their narratives; those "second generation" Holocaust writers, children of survivors and others whose own lives were shaped by the experience of those who witnessed the Holocaust; and finally, those writers, loosely defined as North American, whose imagination of events surrounding that Holocaust frame and engender their narratives.
