The topics of the lectures are:
1. Toughts from the study: How a story is born, How it develops  and  how it reaches its end.
2. The differences between the writing of a short story and a novel.   Imaginary and factual: the ties between the invented story and 
the writer´s biography.
3. The differences between writing prose and writing a script or a  play. Screening scenes from movies and plays is possible.
4. Writing about the Holocaust: the unique dilemma of writing  about the subject. A focus will be placed on describing the  reality of 'the second generation':  children of survivors and the  way this experience is manifested in the stories.
