Archive and Image: Fragments of a traumatic history according to H. G. Adler

Summary/Abstract: Głowacka’s article presents the writer and Holocaust survivor H. G. Adler, author of the first monograph on Theresienstadt concentration camp. The focus is on the early novels Panorama [Panorama] and Podróż [The Journey] – two fictional accounts of the writer’s experience at the Nazi camps to which he and his family were deported. Głowacka reads these novels through Walter Benjamin’s conceptualization of history as well as Jean-Luc Nancy’s reflections on the representability of the Holocaust. She compares Adler’s idiosyncratic use of visual representation to the painterly techniques of artists such as Fritta, Kien and Fleischmann, Adler’s fellow inmates at Theresienstadt.
