America and the Newest Jewish Writing in German - This article is in two main parts. It begins with a discussion of problematic debates over Jewish identity and "authenticity " in the German-speaking world, framed primarily through an analysis of German academic and media-based criticisms of Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners made by means of stereo-typed attacks against the legitimacy of Goldhagen's standing, as an American Jewish academic, to investigate the perpetrators of the Shoah. Then, literary works of three young Jews writing in German -- The Austrian Doron Rabinovici, the German Benjamin Stein, and the Swiss Daniel Ganzfried -- Are framed against the backdrop of these difficult and complex cultural projections concerning subjectivity, nationality, religion, race, and the persistence of anti-Semitism in Central Europe./
