- W2968947903 abstract "W. G. Sebald’s 2001 prose ction Austerlitz concludes with a surprising literary and geographical detour-surprising even for a text whose narrative ranges widely through transnational terrain and whose very fabric emerges from a dense web of explicit and implicit intertextual reference. In the nal pages of the novel, the unnamed narrator returns to Breendonk, the Belgian fortress used by the Nazis as a prison camp and the site of Jean Amery’s torture, among many others. Sitting beside the moat, the narrator takes out a book given to him by his interlocutor throughout the novel, Jacques Austerlitz, a Prague-born Jew who had been sent on a Kindertransport to England, where he grew up without any memory of his origins or any knowledge of his parents’ fate. The book the narrator receives from Austerlitz is a memoir by Dan Jacobson, a real British writer and critic identi ed as a colleague of the ctional Austerlitz. Jacobson’s book, easily identi able as the 1998 Heshel’s Kingdom , recounts, as the narrator of Austerlitz explains, ‘the author’s search for his grandfather Rabbi Yisrael Yehoshua Melamed, known as Heshel’, and the world he occupied. When Heshel died of a heart attack at age fty-three just after the First World War, his widow-Jacobson’s grandmother-decided ‘to emigrate with her nine children from Lithuania to South Africa’, where Jacobson grew up in the mining town of Kimberley (Sebald, 2001, pp. 296-97). That fortuitous emigration saved this branch of the family from near-certain death in the genocide that was not yet on the horizon, but the rest of the family, along with ninety ve per cent of all Lithuanian Jews, would be murdered some twenty years later. In the prologue to Heshel’s Kingdom , Jacobson describes the abandoned mines of his childhood hometown as sites of oblivion meant to evoke the inaccessibility of the Eastern European Jewish past after the Holocaust. In a passage to which I will return, Sebald folds Jacobson’s account of the mines into his own ction of oblivion and establishes what I would call a multidirectional link between South Africa and the challenges of remembering the Holocaust." @default.
