Abstract

This study has set a target to investigate the significant key terms in the post-war literature and in context to "Holocaust" and including the "Holocaust" and to question their specific causes and development from the standpoint of the scientific aspects. As the basis of investigation serve the works of selected Berlin writers Cordelia Edvardson and Christa Wolf, who had tried for a lifetime to describe the "indescribable". The policies and laws of the Nazis organized the so-called mass extermination of Jews, the persecution of political and disabled people, homosexuals, Sinti and Roma. And so in the course of the war created new vocabulary had found the way into common usage and also into the works of here analyzed female-writers Edvardson and Wolf. The study likewise explores the use of technical term "Holocaust" in the context of other genocides and compared to their specific political-historically names, place, time and their witnesses. The analysis of selected post-war-termini illuminated their positive and negative reflection and partially moreover includes the evaluation of their formal processing, especially for key words, such as "Holocaust and dealing with the past".
