Geoffrey H. Hartman was a literary critic whose work engaged with Romantic poets, sacred Judaic texts, Holocaust studies, deconstruction, and the workings of memory. Considered one of the world's foremost literary scholars, he was associated with the 'Yale School' of literary theorists, known for their approach rooted in deconstruction. Hartman advocated for criticism to stand on equal footing with literature, serving as a form of literature in itself. His scholarship deeply explored the nature of trauma, memory, and testimony, influenced by his own wartime experiences.

Distinguished literary scholar Geoffrey H. Hartman, himself forced to leave Germany at age nine, collects his essays, both scholarly and personal, that focus on the Holocaust. Hartman contends that although progress has been made, we are only beginning to understand the horrendous events of 1933 to 1945. The continuing struggle for meaning, consolation, closure, and the establishment of a collective memory against the natural tendency toward forgetfulness is a recurring theme. The many forms of response to the devastation - from historical research and survivors' testimony to the novels, films, and monuments that have appeared over the last fifty years - reflect and inform efforts to come to grips with the past, despite events (like those at Bitburg) that attempt to foreclose it. The stricture that poetry after Auschwitz is ""barbaric"" is countered by the increased sense of responsibility incumbent on the creators of these works.
