Edith Bruck e la vita dopo Auschwitz. Una prospettiva tra storia, memoria, letteratura (1999-2014)

Abstract

This essay examines the narrative production of Edith Bruck, situating it at the intersection of history, memory, and literature. It focuses in particular on the years 1999-2014, considered as an autonomous phase marked by a renewed attention to the long postwar period and to processes of resettlement and redefinition of identity. By interweaving memoir writing and oral sources, it interrogates the contradictions of survival and explores the reworking of trauma across public role, writing, and the inner world. Adopting a gendered perspective, it also frames the author’s experience within the broader context of displaced persons and postwar migratory trajectories.
