The War After (Karpf, 1996), a family memoir about the psycho-social effects of the Holocaust on the children of survivors, attracted considerable attention when first published. 20 years later, Karpf argues, it can be read as an example of post-postmemory. Hirsch (2012) defined postmemory as those memories of the Holocaust that the 'second generation' had of events that shaped their lives but took place before they were born. Post-postmemory, Karpf suggests, is the process whereby such narratives are themselves modified by subsequent events and re-readings brought about by three kinds of time - personal, historical and discursive. Although inevitable, such re-readings run the risk of encouraging Holocaust revisionism and denial. Nevertheless, Karpf claims, they are essential to maintain the post-memoir as a living text.

大屠杀后回忆录

关于大屠杀对幸存者孩子的心理社会影响的家庭回忆录《战后战争》（卡尔夫，1996年）在首次出版时引起了相当大的关注。卡普夫（Karpf）认为20年后，它可以被视为后记忆的一个例子。赫希（Hirsch，2012）将后记忆定义为“大屠杀”的记忆，即“第二代”发生的事件影响了他们的生活，但发生在他们出生之前。卡普夫（Karpf）认为，后记忆是这样一种过程，在这种过程中，叙事本身会被随后的事件和由三种时间（个人的，历史的和话语的）带来的重读而修改。尽管不可避免，但这样的重读有鼓励大屠杀修正主义和否认的危险。然而，卡普夫（Karpf）声称它们对于维持纪念后的生活文本至关重要。
