The part about W is a search for historically real Nazi camps while the other section is autobiographical childhood memories. The factual connection between the two is the loss of Perec's parents, his father to the war and his mother to a Nazi camp. However, the reader is left to figure out the connections in this psychoanalytical autobiography without any guidelines.Citation DetailsTitle: 'W or The Memory of Childhood.'
