description: Among the testimonial writings on WWII, those of Charlotte Delbo (1913-1985) occupy a recognized place in the literature of atrocity. Critics and researchers have been interested in the way the "imaginative truth" of her experience has been conveyed, yet most have not considered the way she dealt with conventions of literary genres she chose, influences that affected her, and the cultural and situational elements which had a bearing on her as a writer. This work brings together Delbo's writing on her concentrationary experience, including plays and prose, with her writing that are not related to that experience, and examines their literary aspects and factors which played a role in shaping them.
