Book synopsis

More than fifty years after the end of World War II, how do we look back upon and understand the nature and consequences of that catastrophic event? What kind of historical consciousness has developed over the past half century with respect to the Nazi destruction of European Jewry? These questions are explored by a distinguished international group of scholars in "Thinking About the Holocaust: After Half a Century". The essays in this volume draw on the large body of historical writing, testimonial literature, monuments and memorials, theological reflections, and documentary and imaginative poetry, prose, film, and drama on the Holocaust to assess the impact of the Holocaust on postwar consciousness and to analyze the varied responses to the Holocaust across the disciplines of scholarship.Contributors are Gulie NeOeman Arad, Ilan Avisar, Michael Andre Bernstein, Elisabeth Domansky, Saul Friedlander, Evyatar Friesel, Michael L. Morgan, Jehuda Reinharz, Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Anita Shapira, Frank Stern, Shmuel Trigano, and Annette Wieviorka.
