In my paper I analyze the journey of Eli\u0161ka Fischmann F\u00e1bryov\u00e1\u2019s life story by bringing together literary, memory, and reception studies. F\u00e1bryov\u00e1 was an assimilated Jew with German roots and Czech citizenship which complicated her life. She was taken to a concentration camp as a child and after the end of World War II, she found out that all her family\u2019s property was confiscated under Bene\u0161 decree 12\/1945, and her family was condemned as traitors to the Czech Republic. My paper explores how far her life story has traveled, how it has transformed, and how it is received and interpreted in the 21st century based on its loose literary adaptation in Radka Denemarkov\u00e1\u2019s novel Pen\u00edze od Hitlera (Money From Hitler). In the novel, F\u00e1bryov\u00e1 is represented by a character called Gita Lauschmann. The novel shows that the pain, suffering, and loss do not end by signing a peace treaty, but the lives of individuals are changed and influenced by the past until their death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The popularity, far reach, and positive reception of the novel are undeniable. I argue that the key to the success of making the story of F\u00e1bryov\u00e1 more known internationally is due to Denemarkov\u00e1’s good use of literary aesthetics and the portrayal of long-term effects of war on the lives of individuals. Furthermore, the local and global reception of this narrative brings out interesting dialogues that promote understanding of how memories of different individuals\u2019 lives travel and how they are understood. Therefore, I analyze the local and global reception of the novel and the different interpretations of the story offered by professional reviewers as well as reviews of general readership to show how F\u00e1bryov\u00e1\u2019s story plays an important role in the memorialization of the Holocaust all around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ettekande pealkiri on “Analyzing Adapted Life Stories Through Audience Reception: Adapting the Life Story of Eli\u0161ka Fischmann F\u00e1bryov\u00e1 in the Novel Money From Hitler”.","protected":false},"author":4,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1239","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
