Focusing on individual authors from Heinrich Boll to Gunther Grass, Hermann Lenz to Peter Schneider, The Language of Silence offers an analysis of West German literature as it tries to come to terms with the Holocaust and its impact on postwar West German society. Exploring postwar literature as the barometer of Germany's unconsciously held values as well as of its professed conscience, Ernestine Schlant demonstrates that the confrontation with the Holocaust has shifted over the decades from repression, circumvention, and omission to an open acknowledgement of the crimes. Yet even today a 'language of silence' remains since the victims and their suffering are still overlooked and ignored. Learned and exacting, Schlant's study makes an important contribution to our understanding of postwar German culture.

Academia has inexplicably ignored and omitted the presence of The Society of Freemasons in Ireland in most of the popular history books. This omission is confusing and somewhat illogical considering the overwhelming weight of evidence, not only of their existence but also their involvement in every facet of Irish affairs for more than 200 years. Their absence from the history books leaves a void which curtains the vital information needed to complete the sorry picture of 1798.
