		Auschwitz and After (Auschwitz, et aprés) is a first person account of life and survival in Birkenau by Charlotte Delbo, translated into English by Rose C. Lamont.
		Delbo, who had returned to occupied France to work in the French resistance alongside her husband, was sent to the camp for her activities.

	Auschwitz and After (review)
		Charlotte Delbo was born in Vigneux-sur-Seine, near Paris, in 1913.
		Her husband Georges was executed and Charlotte was sent to Auschwitz in 1943 with a company of 230 French women, mostly non-Jewish resistance workers.
		After reading Delbo, one wonders if she could in fairness be called a survivor, for throughout everything she has written in her trilogy, we sense that never had she lived so intensely as when she was dying in Auschwitz and when she witnessed the awful deaths of the women with whom she was imprisoned.

	Charlotte Delbo: Auschwitz and After - by Alan Jacobs
		Charlotte Delbo was a survivor of Birkenau and she was a great writer.
		But Delbo strives to leave her tattoo in us with this exquisitely tender and horrifying book, ultimately a mere thread to be preserved as best we can.
		Delbo weaves this thread into the entire body of disjointed horrors I carry like a filthy rag in some dark recess as I shop for groceries at "Treasure Island", ride a bicycle, walk with Krysia, talk with Jesse, read "philosophy"or, ha ha, "history".

		After finishing Delbo's triology, I feel that her words (not all in poetic form) made me understand as much as anyone who did not experience a death camp, how it felt, how one survived, what one endured when one "came back" to the "real world".
		Delbo's words transcend the words of one survivor - she really makes the reader understand what happned to those who "came back", how little they had to give, in some cases, to their spouses, to their children.
		Though she is now deceased, the translator, Rosette Lamont, knew Delbo personally and is the foremost expert on her work, having written a number of articles on Delbo.

		By studying Tadeusz Borowski, Charlotte Delbo, and other first generation Holocaust writers, it becomes clear that the experience of the Holocaust is a difficult, almost impossible one to relate.
		Charlotte Delbo refers to both deep memory and intellectual memory, with language being stuck at the intellectual level and unable to cross over to the deep memory level which is inhabited by "sensations [and] physical imprints" (Delbo 79).
		Delbo describes an incident in which she and her block collectively tried, with great effort, to give some of their bread to a starving group of male prisoners (Delbo 21).

		Delbo describes the transformation of a symbol from good memories to bad in her anecdote "The Tulip." The women catch sight of a tulip in the window of a house as they march through the melting snow on their way to forced labor.
		Delbo writes that literature, as part of her identity, her self apart from Auschwitz, helped her to survive as herself, not as a creature clinging to bare life.
		This remains Delbo's goal throughout her writing: "Il faut donner a voir." Lawrence Langer translates this as "they must be made to see,"[xxxvi] but while this transmits the forcefulness of "il faut," it leaves out the sense of gift given by the verb donner, as well as Delbo's sense of obligation.

		The twenty women in the play are given names and age in the list of characters; but for crucial reasons, Delbo provides them with little else in the way distinguishing characteristics.
		Delbo’s intention is to award these women stature as a group, to record through their initial presence and subsequent absence how many thousands perished and, by the end of the play when only Francoise and Denise remain, how few survived.
		For Delbo, as for many other survivors, the mission of the fighter is to return and “render an account to the others.”

		Delbo, a non-Jewish French resistance leader, uses short sketches and poetry to describe events at Auschwitz, the stories of other survivors and to try to answer the question of how it felt to be there.
		She makes a futile attempt to find some meaning in the experience, but there is nothing that can be gained from it.
