TI - Life “after Auschwitz” in Imre Kertész Books
AB - The article discusses a key issue in the writings of Imre Kertész (1929–2016), that is, contemplation on the effects of the concentration-camp trauma on the further life of survivors. In his books, the author touches upon problems faced by former inmates of concentration camps, often drawing on his own experience. The Nobel Prize winner reflects upon the former prisoners’ personalities, their problems in building relationships and their image of love and family distorted by war experiences. He also stresses the fact that many of them, unable to adapt to normal life, decided to commit suicide, while his escape from the trauma was just his writing.
