- Abstract
New perspectives on Shoah and WW II take a prominent place in contemporary literary production of Central and Eastern Europe. Characteristic for many of the novels are a trans-generational recollecting of the past. These recollections reflect trauma caused by war and mass-murders and its tabuization through generations. On the other side they indicate the interconnection between memories of victims, perpetrators and bystanders. The novels by Zabuzhko and Vynnychuk are staging the contrary and often polarized memories in Ukrainian society, policy and academic discourse. Shoah and WW II are reference points for that reflections in Zabuzhko's and Vynnychuk's and Denysenko's narratives. Denysenko's novel addresses above that a transnational memory of German-Ukrainian topics of remembrance.
