Overview

This volume presents a wide-ranging selection of Jewish theological responses to the Holocaust. It will be the most complete anthology of its sort, bringing together for the first time:

• a large sample of ultra-orthodox writings, translated from the Hebrew and Yiddish;
• a substantial selection of essays by Israeli authors, also translated from the Hebrew;
• a broad sampling of works written in English by American and European authors.

These diverse selections represent virtually every significant theological position that has been articulated by a Jewish thinker in response to the Holocaust. Included are rarely studied responses that were written while the Holocaust was happening.
