TY - JOUR TI - Memory Mediation by First- and Second-Generation Survivors: Why They Said Nothing: Mother and Daughter on One and the Same War by Magda Bošan Simin and Nevena Simin AU - Vidaković-Petrov, Krinka TI - Memory Mediation by First- and Second-Generation Survivors: Why They Said Nothing: Mother and Daughter on One and the Same War by Magda Bošan Simin and Nevena Simin AB - The reasons for researching the works of Yugoslav author Magda Bošan Simin are several: (1) her novel When the Sour Cherries Bloom (1958) was probably the first literary representation of the Holocaust written by a woman author in Yugoslavia; (2) Bošan Simin represents the Holocaust in multiple formats (documentary prose, memoir, autobiographical novel); (3) the book Why They Said Nothing: Mother and Daughter on One and the Same War (2009, English edition 2015) is a narrative comprised of texts written by both Magda Bošan Simin as a Holocaust survivor and her daughter Nevena Simin as a second-generation Holocaust survivor. The research focuses on Holocaust survivors and their post-Holocaust children, issues of memory in Holocaust representation, types of memory, memory mediation, author’s intentionality, gender and identity issues.  VL - 2018 IS - Nr 1 (41) PY - 2018 SN - 1506-9729 C1 - 2450-0100 SP - 31 EP - 54 DO - 10.4467/24500100STJ.18.003.9173 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-judaica/artykul/memory-mediation-by-first-and-second-generation-survivors-why-they-said-nothing-mother-and-daughter-on-one-and-the-same-war-by-magda-bosan-simin-and-nevena-simin KW - Holocaust representation KW - formats of Holocaust representation KW - role of memory and memory mediation KW - primary and secondary memory KW - first- and second-generaton survivors as co-authors KW - gender in Holocaust representation KW - identity
