Abstract
This article aims to point to the multidirectionality between the memory of the Holocaust and the memory of the Brazilian military dictatorship based on the analysis of two literary works written by Brazilian authors, namely Bernardo Kucinski’s K. Relato de uma Busca and Chico Buarque’s O Irmão Alemão. Such analysis requires a multidirectional approach to intersecting different histories so that the concept of multidirectional memory will be methodologically mobilized. The recognition of the Shoah in the collective memory offers a counterpoint to the forgetfulness and denialism that accompany the remembrance of the Brazilian military dictatorship. At the same time, fictional literature becomes a privileged means for the articulation of different memories and for the attempt to work-through the past in the face of the gaps inherent to trauma.
