This book examines the depiction of childhood and the Nazi German past in post-1989 German literature. Developing a new theory of ‘childness’, the study analyses how contemporary authors use tropes of childhood in their engagements with Germany’s National Socialist past. The book features the work of Sebald, Beyer, Walser and Forte.
