Descrizione
States that since the end of World War II, Jewish architects have shaped Jewish architectural history, as many of their designs are influenced by Jewish themes, ideas, and imagery. Describes this cultural development as the result of important shifts in Jewish memory and identity since the Holocaust, and cites the rise of postmodernism, multiculturalism, and Holocaust consciousness as a catalyst. In showing how Jewish architects responded to the Nazi genocide in their work, Rosenfeld's study sheds new light on the evolution of Holocaust memory
