“The texts rescued from the Holocaust do more than speak
about the horror of that world. They are a part of that
world. Here, eyewitness veracity and the truth of the
legacy have become indivisible. To authors who run the
risks of writing about the Holocaust, this is a
fundamental challenge. Never before has the gulf between
the scale of the experience and the means for expressing
it been so deep. Never, too, has literature, as a realm
of fiction, convention, and tricks, ever seemed so
inappropriate as in contact with the experience of the
Holocaust.” – Jacek Leociak
