Charlotte Delbo var aktiv i den franske modstand, blev fanget i marts 1942 og sendt til Auschwitz-Birkenau i januar 1943 i en konvoj af 229 ikke-jødiske franske kvinder. Auschwitz og efter er hendes vidnesbyrd om fangenskabet i de tyske udryddelseslejre og tiden efter. Delbo, 1913-1985, var fransk forfatter og værket regnes for hendes hovedværk. En fortælling oplevet indefra, i scener, erindringsglimt, digte, prosa – skrevet så nærværende, sanset og enkelt. Med en bevidsthed om, at hun vil lade læseren observere og iagttage. Auschwitz og efter er en holocaustfortællling, erindringer fra en kvinde, en forfatter - som blev en af de få overlevende fra sin konvoj.
Written by a member of the French resistance who became an important literary figure in postwar France, this moving memoir of life and death in Auschwitz and the postwar experiences of women survivors has become a key text for Holocaust studies classes. This second edition includes an updated and expanded introduction and new bibliography by Holocaust scholar Lawrence L. Langer. Delbo’s exquisite and unflinching account of life and death under Nazi atrocity grows fiercer and richer with time. The superb new introduction by Lawrence L. Langer illuminates the subtlety and complexity of Delbo’s meditation on memory, time, culpability, and survival, in the context of what Langer calls the afterdeath’ of the Holocaust. Delbo’s powerful trilogy belongs on every bookshelf.”Sara R. Horowitz, York University Winner of the 1995 American Literary Translators Association Award
