The Kindertransport in Literature Reimagining Experience

«In this insightful book, Stephanie Homer interrogates how different genre conventions (memoir, autobiographical fiction and novels) influence the representation of the Kindertransport. Her theoretical approach is sophisticated, her selection of texts judicious and representative. Homer’s contribution to the study of the reception history of the Kindertransport is important and timely.»
(Bill Niven, Professor of Contemporary German History, Nottingham Trent University)

«An immensely valuable intervention into studies of Kindertransport
representations, this book invites readers into the ambiguities of memory.
With clarity and confidence, the book explores the liberating creative
potential of autobiographical fiction and polyphonic fictional voices which
have reimagined the places and perspectives on Kindertransport as a
migratory experience and literary compulsion. The book makes an important
contribution to our understanding of Kindertransport literature as a genuinely
transnational genre of witnessing and re-witnessing.» (Dr Simone Gigliotti, Senior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies,
