Description
Discusses Nitzotz, which is the only known Hebrew-language publication to have appeared consistently throughout the Nazi occupation anywhere in Europe. Its authors believed that their intellectual defiance would insulate them against the dehumanizing cruelty of the concentration camp and equip them to lead the postwar effort for the physical and spiritual regeneration of European Jewry. This document is available in English for the first timeand along with a translation of the five remaining Dachau-Kaufering issues, the book includes an extensive critical introduction.
