In Search of Yesterday is a distillation of the author's writings about the Holocaust / Shoah in three distinct areas: family stories, the quest for meaning in seemingly inexplicable events, and rethinking and reinterpreting biblical texts in light of the Holocaust / Shoah.
As a cutting-edge introduction to the complex relationship between religion and genocide, this book is an essential read for those studying religion and violence, Judaic studies and Holocaust and Genocide studies.
