'Arduous' aptly describes the challenges inherent in literary transmission of Holocaust testimony, especially in cases where translation is involved. Insana (French and Italian, U. of Pittsburgh) explores these issues through readings of the translations of works by Jewish-Italian Holocaust survivor Levi Primo (1919-1987) in relation to, rather than apart from, his other writings (notably, his 1947 memoir If This Be a Man, Survival in Auschwitz in English). For example, his translation of a passage of Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner is read as a metaphor for survivor guilt, and his interpretations of Ulysses imagery in Dante's Divine Comedy and of Kafka's The Trial offers insights into his view of German culpability.
