Children of Job

Children of Job: American Second-Generation Witnesses to the Holocaust (S U N Y Series in Modern Jewish Literature and Culture) (Suny Series, Modern Jewish Literature & Culture) by Alan L. Berger
English | Apr. 25, 1997 | ISBN: 0791433579, 0791433587 | 254 Pages | PDF | 53 MB

Focusing on the novels and films of daughters and sons of Holocaust survivors, this book sheds light on the relationship between the Holocaust and contemporary Jewish identity. It is the first systematic analysis of a body of work that introduces a new generation of Jewish writers and filmmakers, as well as revealing how the survivors' legacy is shaping–and being shaped by–the second generation.
Carefully studying the work of these contemporary children of Job, Berger demonstrates how the offspring, like the survivors themselves, represent a variety of orientations to Judaism, have significant theological differences, and share the legacy of the Shoah. Berger clearly shows that members of the second generation participate fully in both the American and Jewish dimensions of their identity and articulates distinctive second-generation theological and psychosocial themes.
