Descrizione
Explores Wiesel's admiration of Rabbi Akvia's and confrontation of the Rabbi's martyrdom - why it was exalted as such and how has this, if at all, influenced or created a sense of Jewish passivity? And can we even compare the Rabbi's circumstances with the modern horrors thrust upon Jews by the Holocaust?
