Journal Article
On the Limits of Trauma: Postmemories in the Third-Generation Holocaust Graphic Novels Flying Couch and The Property
2021
Overview
This article considers how Marianne Hirsch's concept of postmemory is applicable
to the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors by analyzing two graphic novels:
Rutu Modan's The Property and Amy Kurzweil's Flying
Couch. Postmemory emerged as a theory for understanding how
traumatic memories become inherited by survivors' children. Both texts show that
while the children of the survivors are burdened by their parents' memories,
this is not the case for the grandchildren. Instead, it is only in the third
generation that postmemories are liberated from being exclusively memories of
trauma, and as a result, new approaches to the Holocaust emerge.
