Beyond Auschwitz: Post-Holocaust Jewish Thought in America

This work explores the literary, historical and primarily theological thought that came into being in post- war America in response to the Shoah. It makes in depth exploration of the work of a number of thinkers : Eliezer Berkovits, Irving ( Yitz)Greenberg, Emil Fackenheim, Richard Rubinstein. It also considers the writing of Elie Wiesel, Hannah Arendt on the Shoah. This is so far as I know the most significant work on this subject. It is a work which in my opinion has answers which are themselves questions, about a subject which will always be bound up for any thinking person, and especially any Jew with tremendous pain and questioning. Michael Morgan has done an outstanding job in editing and introducing the work. I do have one objection. No work should be titled 'Beyond Auschwitz' There is no ' beyond ' Auschwitz. Auschwitz for those who were tortured and murdered there has no beyond. And for their survivors , and that is all of us, there is also no ' beyond'
