Stalag Fiction
Stalag ( he, סטאלג) was a short-lived genre of Nazi exploitation Holocaust pornography in Israel that flourished in the 1950s and early 1960s, and stopped at the time of the Eichmann Trial, due to a ban by the Israeli government. These books were mainly about female German Nazi officers sexually abusing their male camp prisoners, yet they did not include any Jewish names to avoid taboos. They are no longer available in traditional publication format, but with the advent of the Internet they have been circulating via peer-to-peer file sharing. Premise Purported to be translations of English-language books by prisoners in concentration camps, these books were highly pornographic accounts of imprisonment, generally of Allied soldiers, sexual brutalization by female SS guards (or in some cases by Imperial Japanese women), and the prisoners' eventual revenge, which usually consisted of the rape and murder of their tormentors. The books, with titles like ''I Was Colonel Schu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Holocaust Literature
The Holocaust has been a prominent subject of art and literature throughout the second half of the twentieth century.

Dance The subject of the Holocaust has been dealt with in modern dance. * In 1961, Anna Sokolow, a Jewish-American choreographer, created her piece ''Dreams'', an attempt to deal with her night terrors; eventually it became an aide-mémoire to the horrors of the Holocaust. * Rami Be'er tries to illustrate the feeling of being trapped in ''Aide Memoire'' (Hebrew title: ''Zichron Dvarim''). The dancers move ecstatically, trapped in their personal turmoil, spinning while swinging their arms and legs, and banging on the wall; some are crucified, unable to move freely on the stage. This piece was performed by the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company. * Tatiana Navka caused controversy when she and her ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Israeli Literature
Israeli literature is literature written in the State of Israel by Israelis. Most works classed as Israeli literature are written in the Hebrew language, although some Israeli authors write in Yiddish, English, Arabic and Russian. History Hebrew writers The foundations of modern Israel writing were laid by a group of literary pioneers from the Second Aliyah including Shmuel Yosef Agnon, the only Nobel Prize winner for literature in Hebrew and the only one for Israeli literature, Moshe Smilansky, Yosef Haim Brenner, David Shimoni, and Jacob Fichman. Until World War I, Hebrew literature was centered in Eastern Europe. After the war and the Russian Revolution many Hebrew writers found their way to Palestine, so that at the time Palestinian writing was essentially a continuation of the European tradition. In 1921, 70 writers met in Tel Aviv and founded the Hebrew Writers' Association. About this time the first literary periodicals made their appearance—''Ha-Adamah'', edited by ...
