Item description from seller

Maybaum took rabbinic posts in Bingen, Frankfurt-am-der-Oder and Berlin. He was a disciple of Franz Rosenzweig.In 1935 he was arrested by the Gestapo spending six weeks in prison before being released. In 1939 he left Germany on a Kindertransport and went to London, England. His mother and sisters were killed in the Holocaust.In 1949 he became rabbi of the Edgware and District Reform Synagogue. From 1956 until his retirement in 1963 he lectured in homiletics and theology at Leo Baeck College. He was also active in inter-religious dialogue. Maybaum wrote many reflections on Judaism, Christianity, the Holocaust and Zionism. He also wrote on Islam. He is most frequently remembered for his controversial view in God After Auschwitz (1965) that the suffering of Jews in the Holocaust was vicarious atonement for the sins of the rest of the world. He was connecting the Jewish people to the figure of the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 52 and 53 in the Tanakh (the Christian Old Testament. In the same work he employed Christian imagery speaking of Auschwitz as the new Golgotha and the gas chambers as replacing the cross.(wikipedia article) Location:935 39 223 pp. collection of his essays including on the Churban includes memories of her father by Alisa Jaffa 935 39.
