Literature of Memory V: Faith and Destruction

CAS RN 583

Examines the role of faith-- as question, outcry, and absurdity-- during and after the Holocaust. The role of faith in catalyzing resistance or causing resignation to evil, the varieties of faith, and the faith and doubt of survivors are examined. Is faith after devastation possible? How were survivors' beliefs transformed? Is absurd faith still faith?
