Date: November 9th, 2026 1:47 PM Author: The Scott Colom JUGGERNAUT The dialogue Mizrahi writers have with the Holocaust is diverse. Some writers are heavily ridden with “Holocaust envy,” desperately wanting to participate, wishing they too had survivors in their family. One such writer is Yossi Avni-Levy, whose work is obsessed with the Holocaust. However, this seemingly naïve obsession bares its aggressive claws in descriptions that reveal a dual stance. Thus for example, the protagonist in A Man Without Shadow (2007) recalls how his schoolteacher had asked all the children in class to share their family’s story in the Holocaust. To his great horror, the boy realizes that “…out of his swarm of uncles and aunts, not one of them… had been in the Holocaust” (88), but for one distant aunt who somehow ended up in Crimea, where she was brutally murdered by the Nazis along with her entire family. Here was the redeeming aunt, and the boy tells the story to his classmates with so much emotion, that it causes his teary-eyed schoolteacher to see him “in a whole new light” (90).
But after telling his aunt’s long story in great detail, the narrator confesses that there never was an aunt Batsheva and that he had concocted the entire horrifying story in his feverish mind, after having listened to his classmates’ Holocaust stories and being gripped with envy.
