The last two decades have seen a rising interest in the Holocaust and the expulsion of ethnic Germans after World War II in Czech literature. Novels by Hana Androníková, Radka Denemarková, Magdalena Platzová, Kateřina Tučková, and Jáchym Topol share a quest for a new poetics of remembrance. Informed by contemporary discussions about Czech memory politics, these novels are characterised by spectral visions of Germans and Jews alike, a dichotomy of trauma and nostalgia, and an understanding of Czech history as postcatastrophically entangled and thus calling for multidirectional forms of remembrance. In this respect, literary memorial forms compensate for the absence of other memorial forms addressing these topics through a transnational lens. The interaction of different historical points of view is achieved by a time frame extending from the war to the present day and stressing the intercultural dynamics of Czechs, Jews, and Germans retroactively. In order to illustrate this entanglement, authors make use of popular genres, such as romance, and create texts shaped by genre fluidity, memory theory, documentary practices, and concepts of transnationality.

在过去的二十年中，人们对捷克大屠杀和第二次世界大战后驱逐德国人的兴趣日益浓厚。HanaAndroníková，RadkaDenemarková，MagdalenaPlatzová，KateřinaTučková和JáchymTopol的小说都在寻求新的纪念诗意。受到当代有关捷克记忆政治的讨论的启发，这些小说的特征是德国人和犹太人的光谱视野，对创伤和怀旧的二分法以及对灾难后纠缠的捷克历史的理解，因此需要多向形式的纪念。在这方面，文学纪念形式弥补了通过跨国视角解决这些主题的其他纪念形式的不足。从战争一直延伸到今天，并追溯性地强调捷克人，犹太人和德国人的跨文化动力，可以实现不同历史观点的相互作用。为了说明这种纠缠，作者利用了浪漫等流行的流派，并创作了受流派流动性，记忆理论，文献实践和跨国性概念影响的文本。
