Since the 1970s and 1980s, remembrance and memory have been significant topics in literature, culture, and history. However, it seems that memory results from neuroscientific studies or psychology. Memory as a theme is a current attraction of the research. Specifically in literary studies, there have been various ways of dealing with memoirs in recent years. In the age of technological media, it seems that everything can be stored/saved and recorded, and reaccessed indefinitely. However, the memory of an individual in the artistic guise of literature offers a different view of meaning. In addition, knowledge of the past shifts from an individual's memory to external sources, especially after death. Therefore, forms of individual expression such as diaries, interviews, memoirs, and literary texts (especially autobiographies) have gained importance. This form of archiving is very important and relevant after the author's death. The texts, which deal with the past and historical events and record these events in writing, are constantly available, and over time the memories are further transferred. Therefore, literature seems to have the task of preserving and keeping alive the memories in autobiographical form so that the following generation has the opportunity to perceive the past and the extreme experiences of people retrospectively.
