| Description: | This paper addresses the distinctive features of European literature in the context of Nazi and communist totalitarianism and the two world wars in the twentieth century. The author emphasizes the important role that literature has played in witnessing one of the most violent centuries in the history of mankind and this is mainly exemplified through the life and work of Primo Levi (1919-1987) and the Nobel Prize winners for Literature Czes?aw Mi?osz (1911-2004) and Imre Kerstész (1929-2016). Both Levi and Kerstész underline the indissoluble relationship between their literary work and their personal experiences as holocaust survivors and who along with Milosz were also great critics of the socialist dictatorships in Europe.
