Presenting the Holocaust

Abstract

This study is going to focus on the authors’ experience of the Holocaust as it is depicted in their memoirs. These memoirs reveal the importance of familial ties during hardship and interestingly the role of father becomes an essential one in both ones. How they perceived themselves and came to terms with their own identity becomes also an important question just like questions concerning faith and religion. Despite the fact that these similar themes and topics exist their outcomes are often totally different and eventually the opposites of each other. Where the Diary suddenly ends the journey into the horrors of Night begins. So let’s begin our journey deep into these two works and see how big the iceberg actually is.
