Abstract EN:

We attempt to draw a common thematic from writings of a fractured childhood, haunted by the missing deportees, through a corpus of writers whose parents were sent to Auschwitz : Jean-Claude Grumberg, Sarah Kofman, Georges Perec and Art Spiegelman. How do these orphans or children of survivors of the Shoah, and their autobiographical texts, render those dead unburied, whom the specificity of the genocide prevented their heirs from mourning ? The writing of the children of deportees endeavors first to restore for their parents an living identity while searching for what remains of their existence. A corpus of proofs, -photographs, official documents, etc. -, memory and places, are collected, searched, deciphered, in order to inscribe attestation of their past life in some form of textuality. Secondly, their writing testifies to their death, through the literature of the survivors and its incorporation into the text of corpses, and ashes Finally it comes up against the unquenchable, a tearing between commemoration of the dead in a book- mausoleum or the impossibility of a separation from them, conserved crypted, in a non-appeasing struggle, rooted in the disaster of their disapearance.
