This personal essay has a dual purpose of relating the transgenerational transmission of the Holocaust survivor Chaim Pomerancblum’s life story, and of reflecting, at the same time, on this non-canonical practice in the academic world regarding the use of first person narrative. First, I will discuss and explain this self-reflective approach by drawing on post-memorial literary and theoretical works. Next, I will narrate, in a fragmentary and metatextual way, the life story of Chaim, my maternal grandfather.
