Embracing Auschwitz: Forging a Vibrant, Life-Affirming Judaism that Takes the Holocaust by Joshua Hammerman

Embracing Auschwitz: Forging a Vibrant, Life-Affirming Judaism that Takes the Holocaust by Joshua Hammerman

The Judaism of Sinai and the Judaism of Auschwitz are merging, resulting in new visions of Judaism that are only beginning to take shape.

Each of the chapters of this book outlines an aspect of this work-in-progress, this Torah of Auschwitz, and we will see just how the ways of Sinai are being recast, the old wells re-dug.

Jewish survival will not be assured until the grandchildren of survivors and others of their generation can begin to take the darkness of the Shoah and turn it into a song, absorbing the absurdity of a silent God while loving life nonetheless.
