God, Faith and Identity from the Ashes edited by Mecachem Z. Rosensaft
“God, Faith, and Identity from the Ashes” is a collection of essays edited by Menachem Z. Rosensaft. The book was published in 2014 and features contributions from various writers, scholars, and Holocaust survivors. The essays in this collection provide a diverse range of perspectives on the Holocaust and its impact on faith, religion, and identity.
The Holocaust was a period of immense suffering and loss during World War II, and it had a profound impact on the Jewish community and the world at large. “God, Faith, and Identity from the Ashes” delves into how individuals grappled with questions of faith, belief, and identity during and after the Holocaust. It explores how the survivors and their descendants coped with the theological and philosophical challenges posed by the Holocaust.
The essays in the book discuss a wide range of topics, including theodicy (the question of how a just God could allow such suffering), the preservation of faith in the face of unimaginable horrors, and the ways in which Jewish identity was reshaped by the experience of the Holocaust.
Menachem Z. Rosensaft, the editor, is himself the child of Holocaust survivors and is a prominent figure in Holocaust remembrance and education. The collection offers a valuable and introspective look at the complex and multifaceted ways in which people have confronted the profound moral and existential questions raised by the Holocaust.
“God, Faith, and Identity from the Ashes” is a poignant and thought-provoking book that examines how faith and identity were challenged and reshaped by one of the darkest chapters in human history. It is a significant contribution to Holocaust literature and theology.
