"Narrating the Holocaust thus offers considerable insight into
texts that are not well known, particularly to English readers." -

"In Narrating the Holocaust, Andrea Reiter breaks ground in two
ways. First, she focuses on a wide range of testimonies written by
survivors, most of which have not been available to a general,
English-speaking audience, and which would not be conventionally
classified as ‘literature' of any sort, and subjects them to
literary analysis, rather than dealing with them as historical
documents. Second, she classifies these works systematically
according to the different ‘linguistic devices' and generic
strategies that they employ." - David Brauner
"Narrating the Holocaust is the kind of initiatory work that
someone had to write, and for that, we should thank the author...I
believe it is important that someone has been willing to treat
Holocaust narratives as something other than sacred texts. To
construct a means whereby we can develop a rhetorical analysis of
"non-literary" texts establishes a beginning for our understanding
these narratives in a context that is more than theological,
historical, psychological, or philosophical. As such, this book
should prove a welcome addition to the libraries of all students of
Holocaust literature." - Michael J. Hoffman, H-Net Reviews, March
