520 $aDiscusses the relationship (or the lack of one) between Holocaust literature and theories of tragedy, and examines Christianity's influence on tragedy and tragic theory, as well as the impact of Christianity on the reading of Holocaust literature. Focuses, especially, on the incongruence between Western tragic literature and the literature of atrocity (the Holocaust). Delineates five key components of the theories of tragedy - e.g. necessity, destiny; redemptive knowledge; suffering, innocence, guilt; human affirmation; characteristics of the tragic hero - and raises questions regarding their applicability to Holocaust literature, focusing on works by Elie Wiesel, Tadeusz Borowski, Jerzy Kosinski, and Rolf Hochhuth. Notes that tragedy is an integral part of the West's cultural and philosophical history; it is also imbued with Christian theological views of transcendence. Christianity's claims regarding its supersession of Judaism helped prepare the conditions that were necessary for Jews to become the victims of the Nazis. Therefore, Christians must reassess their theological views in order to confront the Holocaust and its literature.$c(From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
