Jewish Religious Responses to the Holocaust
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details
Covering
a spectrum from ultra-Orthodox interpretations of the Holocaust as a punishment
for sin to contemporary critiques of its mythologization, Isabel Wollaston
considers the evolution of Jewish religious responses to the Holocaust.
Writers whose work she evaluates include Elchonon Wassermann, Richard
Rubenstein, Elie Wiesel, and David Blumenthal. This well-argued and clearly
set out book contributes to the ongoing academic discussion of these responses,
while also being accessible to non-specialists.
Isabel Wollaston is Lecturer in Theology, University of Birmingham. She is the author of A War Against Memory? The Future of Holocaust Remembrance (1996), co-editor with Jon Davies of The Sociology of Sacred Texts (1993), and editor of the journal Reviews in Religion and Theology.
