Description
Kramer and Headland use the example of the individual to approach universal issues that inevitably arise in discussing the Holocaust - evil, courage, human dignity, moral responsibility and the existential qualities of humankind. This book consists of two main sections - the first involves interpretation and reflections on the meaning of one individual's experiences during the Shoah. The second sets forth the historical context in which these experiences occurred. It contains a comprehensive historical summary of the Shoah and represents a succinct synopsis of existing secondary literature and primary sources
