Jewish Religious Responses to the Holocaust
Isabel Wollaston

Author Information - Contents - Publication Details

read more about this bookCovering 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.
