Fan Fiction, Love Stories, Stories about Deportations and Concentration Camps: A Sketch on Digital Literature about the Holocaust and National Socialism on the Online Platform Wattpad

Summary/Abstract: E-book platforms, such as Wattpad (wattpad.com) offer authors and readers, of-ten rather young, the opportunity to publish their own stories on a wide variety of topics and in different genre categories, e.g. , fanfiction, time travel, love sto-ries. Hundreds of texts in numerous languages and in different phases of cre-ation and editing are to be found on Wattpad under the keywords Holocaust and National Socialism. This article introduces some examples of the wide range of texts and shows their form and content. Finally, the article seeks to point out some aspects that make it worthwhile to take a closer look at these texts from a literary and didactic point of view and to investigate whether some of these texts, which have been largely ignored by literary and didactic studies so far, may be used for educational purposes.
