Synopsis
Sifting and synthesizing the best Holocaust scholarship so that sheer volume does not make it inaccessible, this book brings together a wide range of material on the Holocaust which no other single work on the subject contains. Its two authors, one Jewish and one Christian, have long experience of writing and teaching on the Holocaust, and their study is intended not least as a basic textbook. Beginning with hostility to Judaism in the ancient world, not least in Christianity, the first part of the book traces antisemitism through the history of the church, the Reformation and the Enlightenment, to nineteenth-century Europe, then goes on to the events which directly led to the Holocaust. The second part describes the planning and implementation of the Holocaust; the third part responses to it, both those of Germans carrying on 'business as usual' while it was happening, and those of the victims, survivors and Christian and Jewish theologians and philosophers who have subsequently reflected on it. A conclusion considers the legacy of the Holocaust, and there is a full bibliography.

Seller: MW Books, New York, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
1st Edition. Very good paperback copy; wrappers slightly dulled and edge-nicked. Bright and clean internally. Remains particularly well-preserved overall. Physical description: ix, 422 pages; 22 cm. Summary: Examines the process by which the Jewish people came to be defined as an unwanted and surplus population, and were subjected to the radical solution of systematic, state-sponsored annihilation. Pt. 1 (pp. 21-89), "Early Historical Roots", focuses on the background to the Jews' pariah status in society, describing ancient anti-Judaism, the reasons for the anti-Jewish teachings of the Church, Luther's attacks on the Jews, and the rise of modern antisemitism, especially in France, since the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Pt. 2 (pp. 91-196), "The Nazis in Power", discusses Nazi antisemitic ideology and policy, the Final Solution, Jewish responses and resistance, and the experience of survivors. Pt. 3 (pp. 197-336), "Responses to the Holocaust", is devoted to immediate reactions (or failure to react) to Nazism and the Holocaust, especially by the Christian Churches and Western governments, and the complicity of members of academic disciplines, professions, and industry in Nazi crimes. Emphasizes that these responses were often rational in terms of power politics and cost-effective economics. also discusses literary responses and the challenge to traditional religious and moral norms posed by the Holocaust. Pt. 4 (pp. 337-364), "The Aftermath and the Future", considers the implications of the legacy of the Holocaust for the future. Revises his previous view that God is dead in the post-Holocaust world. Subjects: Auschwitz (Concentration camp). Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945). Holocaust. Christianity and antisemitism. Holocaust (Christian theology). Holocaust (Jewish theology). Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Causes. Jews Genocide, 1939-1945. 3 Kg. Seller Inventory # 336966
