Holocaust im Abendlicht. Zur Problematik von Erinnerung und Verdrängung in Hermann Lenz’ erzählerischem Triptychon "Das doppelte Gesicht"

Summary/Abstract: The conservative tone in the works of Hermann Lenz, which caused a marginalization of the author in German literature, is treated nowadays more and more as a sign of opposition to the main tendencies of literature in the sixties and seventies. The poetics of Lenz, without doubt inspiring in many ways, nevertheless contains a severe danger. The exaggerated cult of nostalgic memory is sweeping away historical facts. This paper wants to show the disguise, which is necessary for Lenz to be able to protect his Habsburg- myth from the crimes of the Holocaust. The analysis is based on the triptych Das doppelte Gesicht published in 1949.
