Descrizione
Discusses Wiesel's recurring references to Lot's wife in his texts as a symbol of the need to examine the ramifications of looking at the past and involve oneself in history. Harrowitz agrees that by refusing to cover up by running and not looking, Lot's wife provides an ethical female role model that exemplifies the challenge of representing the Holocaust in the future.
