Ruth Kluger was
born in Vienna in 1931. During the war, she was interned at several camps,
including Auschwitz and Theresienstadt. Her memoir,
Still Alive: A Holocaust
Girlhood Remembered, is well-known and much praised. After the war, she came
to America, received a Ph.D. at Berkeley, and taught German literature for
many years, especially at UC-Irvine, where she is professor emerita. On April
9, 2013, Professor Kluger discussed recent trends in depicting the Holocaust
through fiction. As a survivor and a noteworthy author and scholar, she
brings a special dimension to her review.
