Description
This study argues that a "cult" of the Holocaust exists that is deeply destructive to Jewish identity. It postulates that, within the context of Holocaust-shaped Judaism, the God of the Jews - and the key part of Jewish identity - has been replaced by a sense of victimization and survival at any cost. It urges a recovery of Exodus as the master story of the Jewish people.
