  • Summary

    The introduction provides a road map to the book, explaining key concepts such as “quota refugees,” Jews in Germany since 1990, and German Jewish relations more broadly, including the role of art and literature in memory contests since 1990. The rationale for the inclusion of the many texts under discussion is contextualized with an overview of current scholarly debates, such as the debate on “multidirectional memory,” as well as the more divisive conversations on Israel and Zionism especially after October 7, 2023. Additionally, concepts such as reader response theory, the importance of multilingualism, and Jewish–Muslim relations are explored. Ultimately, theintroduction shows how and why literature matters in the German Holocaust remembrance discourse, at a time when live Holocaust survivor testimony is no longer available, and when German society is inflected by other voices, predominantly Muslim.
