Lawrence L. Langer, perhaps the most important literary critic of the Holocaust, here explores the use of Holocaust themes in literature, memoirs, film, and painting.

Reaching from biblical times to the present day, Esther Benbassa s prize-winning exploration of Jewish identity is both epic and comprehensive. She shows how in the Jewish world, the representation and ritualization of suffering have shaped the history of both the people and the religion. Benbassa argues that the nineteenth century gave rise to a Jewish lachrymose historiography, and that Jewish history was increasingly seen to be a vale of tears a development that has become even more pronounced since the Holocaust. The treatment of the Holocaust in the State of Israel now has the form of a c...
