" . . . stimulating and important anthology . . ." -Holocaust and Genocide Studies
" . . . a useful and competent volume that can serve as a good introduction to scholarship on the aftermath of the Holocaust." -Times Literary Supplement
More than 50 years after the end of World War II, how do we look back upon and understand the nature and consequences of that catastrophic event? What kind of historical consciousness has developed over the past half century with respect to the Nazi destruction of European Jewry? These questions are explored by a distinguished international group of scholars who draw on history, literature, memory, memorials, and the representation of the Holocaust in the culture to assess the impact of the Holocaust on postwar consciousness.

Description
More than fifty years after the end of World War II, how do we look back upon and understand the nature and consequences of that catastrophic event? What kind of historical consciousness has developed over the past half century with respect to the Nazi destruction of European Jewry? These questions are explored by a distinguished international group of scholars in "Thinking about the Holocaust: After Half a Century".The essays in this volume draw on the large body of historical writing, testimonial literature, monuments and memorials, theological reflections, and documentary and imaginative poetry, prose, film, and drama on the Holocaust to assess the impact of the Holocaust on postwar consciousness and to analyze the varied responses to the Holocaust across the disciplines of scholarship. The contributors are Gulie NeOeman Arad, Ilan Avisar, Michael Andre Bernstein, Elisabeth Domansky, Saul Friedlander, Evyatar Friesel, Michael L. Morgan, Jehuda Reinharz, Alvin H. Rosenfeld, Anita Shapira, Frank Stern, Shmuel Trigano, and Annette Wieviorka.
