Aharon Appelfeld is an Israeli writer who was born in 1932 in Czernowitz in Bucovinia. His writing mostly revolves around the life of Jews in Europe before and during the Second World War. Himself a survivor of the Holocaust, he considers that he incarnates the memory of the Jewish people. To reject this inheritance would be the equivalent of rejecting oneself, a kind of a suicide. It is through literature that the author tries to perpetuate it. Aharon Appelfeld has managed to mark himself out as one of the greatest Jewish writers of our time, thanks to his powerful, rigorous and realist writing.
