Zur Problematik der deutschen Lyrik aus Theresienstadt 1941 -1945

Václavek provides a survey of the German literature in Terezín. He argues that German literature and theatre were more conservative than the Czech variety. In Terezín the last generation of the Prague German-Jewish literature can be witnessed. However, the well-known writers emigrated before the start of the deportations. For this reason, German poetry from Terezín was never widely known. The author introduces some of the German artists and their work.
