- W258083440 abstract "Problems Unique the HolocaustOn August 18, 1998, Harry James Cargas, one of the great Christian scholars on the Shoah the 20th century, died.(1) He authored and edited 34 books, nine of which deal with the Shoah. His last effort is the book under review. The title notwithstanding, this volume of essays seeks examine ethical and moral issues related three major groups affected by the genocide of European Jewry during World War II: perpetrator, victim, and bystander. The heart of this collection of essays is informed by the editor's review Commonweal of Calel Perechodnik, Am I a Murderer? Testament of a Jewish Ghetto Policeman, ed. and trans. Frank Fox (Boulder: Westview Press, 1996). In it, we are told of Perechodnik's deathbed confession that his decision join the Ordnungsdienst on Nazi promises save his family proved naive and contributed sending his wife and daughter (and thousands of other Polish Jews) Treblinka and their subsequent death.

He concludes that we the living cannot condemn the taking of life for the sake of the few but praises more the birthing of new Jewish life as the hope of the many. Susan Pentlin restricts the problem the accounts of witnesses who survive the ghetto and camps and finds catharsis and silence, the price of living in the gray zone. Charlotte Guthmann Opfermann bears her own personal testimony that morally speaking certain self-inflicted Jewish deaths are not suicides but murder by the Nazi oppressor. Jack Nusan Porter analyzes the suicides of Jean Amery, Bruno Bettelheim, Paul Celan, Terrence Des Pres, Jerzy Kosinski, Primo Levi, and Robert Maxwell and posits a common thread: isolated, alienated intellectuals touched by the Shoah who lack a deep-seated religious commitment are more prone taking their own life than ordinary Holocaust survivors.Didier Pollefeyt speaks on the fragility of ethical life on planet Auschwitz, where the environment of extreme inhumanity one is compelled to choose between the loss of breath (and life) and the lost of dignity, and Diane M. …" @default.
