Abstract
Having defined Shoah literature as texts written by prisoners of ghettos and camps while they were imprisoned, the article focuses on a group of Yiddish texts of this type, drawn from a larger collection of unpublished texts written in various languages. It goes through the history of the perception of Shoah Yiddish poetry, which was first seen as plain testimony and progressively became an object of poetic analysis. The article presents the most common genres usually found in this type of poetry: adaptations, supporting poems, love poems, etc. A more specific classification is proposed, as well as an analysis which aims to link each genre with various aspects of traditional and modern Jewish culture.
