Is there such a thing as a family novel? Considering the focus of the present study, the question seems an unlikely one in the closing pages of its analysis. Books popularly classified as Familienromane have enjoyed increasing exposure in recent years, especially in Germany, where several authors of family novels have been honoured with the prestigious Deutscher Buchpreis, awarded each year by the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. As already noted in the Foreword, the number of Familienroman German Book Prize winners since 2005 suggests that German-language writers have something to say about the way families are constructed and how they operate as units of meaning and memory, and also indicates that these examinations of family are considered to be particularly prizeworthy.

This theoretical framework will be illustrated with the novelistic work of Austrian Israeli-born historian, writer and political activist Doron Rabinovici (*1961). As a representative of the so-called “second generation” of Holocaust writers, a generation of individuals who did not experience the nazi genocide violence, but who had to form their identities under the shadow of such a brutal past, Rabinovici addresses essential topics such as the intergenerational transmission of memory and guilt within survivor families, identity formation of second generation individuals (Jews and non-Jews) and the question of sim
