Andrzej Wajda recreates critically the hard years of German occupation, the fight is not always heroic and decisive split between the partisans in the trilogy about the war in a Geração (Pokolenie, 1955), Kanal (Kanal, 1957) and Ashes and diamonds (Popiól i diament, 1958).

Witness of the events of his time, many of them associated with Socialist, Korczak opted for the ideal of education as antithesis to revolutions, that is, he believed that education and its improvement might be the only way for the construction of a more just world. Although his pedagogical approach has not been influenced or is geared specifically to the Jewish people, Korczak was not as escape the fate of a Jew, a Jewish Educator in a terrible period of Jewish history.

In As Aves da noite (1968), text that is the subject of my analysis, Hilda Hilst is a precursor in relation to matters chosen. His play takes place in Auschwitz and the Holocaust, at a time when few writers focalized in Brazilian literature.

The minimalism of the literature of Aharón Appelfeld is sui generis. He adopts this style as if it were at the same time a military strategy to win the challenge and the indicator of their confessed defeat before an enemy invincible: the Holocaust.

Miracles, dreams and inspirations are not necessarily the object of study of History. They can hardly be proven documented, so material. The story of people directly involved with these facts should be analyzed with caution, however. Even if we assume the point of view that this narrative is true, many facts remain without explanation. Perhaps that is why it is that some of the narratives chosen to illustrate this article are so fascinating.

Although Elie Wiesel has ceased to employ the word Holocaust, "denatured by force", his preference for event (Événement) or Kingdom of Night reveals the mystical content that sets up your memory. For him, the Holocaust is beyond understanding. This article discusses the aporia of the names in the Shoah.

In Savyon Liebrecht’s literature, the family serves to the survivors as a kind of existential anchor, even if it does not meet many of their emotional needs. This article discusses the marriage of some Holocaust survivors as a desire for self-preservation and personal safety.

Historical research in the last ten years have shown hostile and restrictive government policies the entry of Jewish refugees from Nazism and Fascism in Argentina before, during and immediately after World War II. This article analyzes their conditions in 1945-1950.

The memory of the Shoah and the literature of witness put in check the traditional historiography (and also the traditional literary genres) as incorporating fictional elements in his compositions and, through simulations of experience, a player shall return the unstable ground and virtual. This article discusses the Museum and its representation in literature.

Sixty seven years to this month of November 2007, Aristides Sousa Mendes stood condemned to one year's suspension on half pay followed by compulsory retirement from the diplomatic service. I will bring before you the case of this Portuguese diplomat, a Righteous Gentile, whom in the War's darkest hour, faced with a political and social order contradictory to human dignity, submitted to moral obligation. Rather than seeking refuge in the magic of faith, he chose effective action, and used his power to help thousands of people escape the German westward advance, a decision for which he was himself to become an outcast – till his death and beyond, for it took almost 50 years for him to be reinstated.

This article analyzes the presence of Shoah in Brazilian literature. Despite the Brazilian participation in the fronts of the Second World War against the Nazi forces, we cannot realize the culture of this country the strong presence of this fact. Even today, at the beginning of the 21 century, with the importance attached by the cultural studies journal dedicated to the study of the reports of survivors and persecuted minorities, this panorama has not changed, at least with respect to the Shoah. The survivors who for a number of reasons varied ended up arriving in Brazil, they found there a welcoming audience to their testimonies. And, similarly, the Brazilian writer who eventually turned to this theme, nor responded to a cultural issue seen as important.

Whenever the Shoah is raised – such as the diaspora and the Inquisition, but the Holocaust is the most terrible and closer – whether in schools, family and community meetings, we say that we should remember that the facts do not recur, because forgetting leads to repetition of facts. If the disasters have happened, we remind them to avoid their return, and must honour those who were with the statement of what happened. The memory is similar to justice; the Zakhor Act is writing the history of losers, destroyed, annihilated by the March of history. This writing, being responsible for an account – it is written that the story unfolds – assumes the ethical commitment to remember to prevent new disasters.

The goal of this test is to reflect on the aspects of intolerance to Jews, built on the basis of the nature of religious theological and ecclesiastical thought.

This article discusses the issue of eclipse of God in Martin Buber. The Israeli religious experience part of two converging understandings of God: He is the Lord of history and creator of the world and of man. All that is not explained by yourself, it refers to the creator. From that point of view, God will be focused and the Holocaust.
