About this ebook

In the last half century, ways of thinking about the Holocaust have changed somewhat dramatically.

In their personal stories they confront the questions that the Holocaust has raised for them and explore how these questions have been evolving. Contributors include John T. Pawlikowski, Richard L. Rubenstein, Michael Berenbaum, and Eva Fleischner.
