The holocaust as adventure in Uri Orlev’s children’s books

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Daniel Feldman argues that, by portraying war as an audacious game and survival as a thrilling adventure, Orlev's juvenile texts about the Holocaust forge a powerful connection between the child victim of the Holocaust and the contemporary reader of children's literature, who unite in imagining the rich, vivid, and sometimes terrifying world of the book as real.
