Re-experiencing and the shadow of crib in short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer

Abstract

    Most of I.B. Singer's short stories are associated with Jewish history. Writing fromthe context of post Holocaust, his works are not only a mourning for Jew's fate, who hasexperienced the great disaster genocide, and witnesses of Nazi Germany to hiscompatriots, but also among the existing ruins, which reflect their spychic reactions topast trauma. Through his characters' journey re-experience, I.B. Singer pointed out twomajor types of spychic reactions: omit and run away from all, which relate to the paststories, or tell and recall eternally the painful past.
