Reckoning with the Nazi and DDR Past based on Dirk Brauns’ Novels, "Im Inneren des Landes" (2012) and "Café Auschwitz" (2013): The Post-DDR Perspective

Summary/Abstract: In the presented article, the author describes both the disputes surrounding and the reception concerning two novels written by the contemporary German writer Dirk Brauns. The first, Im Inneren des Landes, published in 2012 in Germany and unknown to the Polish readers reckons with the DDR dictatorship; the second, Café Auschwitz, published in 2013 and only in Polish, deals with the crimes committed under national socialism. The central aspect of both literary works is the problem of memory and oblivion, and within the context of their receptions, both have become very important. The author has also included an appendix related to the Polish translation of Café Auschwitz; it contains suggestions as to how to correct the Polish translation.
