商品簡介
It is indicative of the complexity of Holocaust studies that all of the contributors to this work come from different academic fields. Kluge (behavioral science, Emory University) and Williams (history, University of Illinois, Chicago) discuss this inability to categorize Holocaust literature in their introduction. The essays cover various types of literature: novels, memoirs, plays, even comic books (graphic novels). Two look at the ways in which the Holocaust is portrayed in the Arab world, not in as monolithic a manner as presented in the Western media, and by evangelical Christians who see it as a defining time for those who sheltered victims and for those who suffered. Evangelical literature describes it as a part of God's plan leading to the foundation of Israel, the conversion of the Jews and the Second Coming of Jesus. The huge number of works on the Holocaust is made evident by the hundred and fifty page list of literature in several languages. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
