Summary/Abstract: This paper explores intertextual entanglements between the Holocaust Literature and the Literature to genocide in Rwanda. The evidence of thematic, formal and aesthetic connections confirms the paradigmatic position of the Holocaust linked with the construction of a global memory regarding trauma representation. The paper points out the dialogic dimension of this entanglement by analysing a corpus of ten literary works dealing either with the Holocaust or with the genocide in Rwanda.
