Nontraditional Images of the Shoah in Literature and Film: Comedy and Laughter

Original language description

This article focuses on three nontraditional works of Czech literature and film production on the Holocaust that use elements of comedy and humor. The article discusses a Czech novel, Life with a Star (Život s hvězdou, written by Jiří Weil, published in 1949); a series of seven short stories, The Menorah (Sedmiramenný svícen, written by Josef Škvorecký, published in 1964); and six different versions of The Shop on Main Street (a short story, a serial, two versions of a screenplay, a novel, and a film) produced by Ladislav Grosman, Ján Kadár, and Elmar Klos (published in 1962, 1964, 1965, and 1998). It readdresses the place of comedy and humor in artistic representations of the Holocaust.
