Abstract
La literatura concentracionaria presenta una serie de rasgos propios que justifican
su consideración como un género –o subgénero– específico dentro de la literatura
testimonial. Es una escritura que se caracteriza por un proceso creativo singular,
en el que el autor-testigo transforma su vivencia personal en el campo de concentración
en una construcción literaria de alcance y mensaje universal. El presente
artículo ofrece un análisis comparado de dos figuras del corpus concentracionario
europeo: el español Jorge Semprún y el griego Iákovos Kambanelis y su obra Mauthausen.
A pesar de sus diferencias, ambos autores comparten elementos comunes
en su modo de abordar la escritura de la experiencia concentracionaria, particularmente
en la forma en que se articula en su obra la tensión entre memoria, ficción
y verdad histórica. Como ejemplo ilustrativo, se analiza el uso simbólico de
la inscripción Arbeit macht frei en sus respectivas descripciones de los campos de
Buchenwald y Mauthausen en que estuvieron internados.
