paperback. Condición: Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, fine condition. ROTH, JOHN K., ed. . Ethics after the Holocaust: perspectives, critiques, and responses. St. Paul, Minn: Paragon House, 1999, 1st printing number line ending with 1, xvi, 363pp., . The contributors to this book investigate Morality's failures during the Holocaust and raise questions about ethics afterwards. - An unprecedented, overwhelming, and uniquely destructive event, the Holocaust makes people wonder. How could such a catastrophe happen? Why did it take place? Where were the ethical traditions and teachings that seemingly should have kept such things from occurring? Although no book can answer those questions once and for all, Ethics after the Holocaust does try to respond to those issues and especially to the third one, which promotes investigation about morality's failures during the Holocaust and inquiry about ethics after Auschwitz as well. The book's six contributors, Leonard Grob, Peter J. Haas, David H. Hirsch, David Patterson, Didier Pollefeyt, and John K. Roth-experienced Holocaust scholars from the fields of literature, philosophy, religious studies, and theology-have each written a substantive essay that sets forth fundamental concerns about post-Holocaust ethics. Then they have responded to one another, a step followed by each writer's reply to the critiques he received. The book's distinctive dialogue format deepens inquiry that interprets the Holocaust not only as an assault on millions of innocent human beings-Jews first and foremost among them-but also as an attack on goodness itself After Auschwitz, the contributors emphasize, ethics must be a way of living (thinking, feeling, doing) that cares especially for the defenseless. After Auschwitz, the simple reaffirmation of pre-Holocaust ethics will not do anymore, because the Western religious, philosophical, and ethical traditions have shown themselves to be problematic. Far from preventing the Holocaust, they may have been seriously implicated in that catastrophe. The Holocaust shows the vulnerability of ethicsnot only then but also now; not only in the Nazis' hands but also in ours. Ethics after Auschwitz must be characterized by openness to the Other. It must not be a closed system but a way of living in openness to the vulnerability of others, especially the defenseless. Ethics after the Holocaust needs the support of politics, lest it be ineffectual. Politics also needs ethics lest it waste human life. - CONTENTS: Introduction: Ethics after Auschwitz / John K.

PAPERBACK, fine copy, essentially like a new book. PETROPOULOS, JONATHAN / ROTH, JOHN K., ed. . Gray zones: ambiguity and compromise in the Holocaust and its aftermath. Edited and introduced by Jonathan Petropoulos and John K. Roth. New York: Berghahn Books, 2005, xxii, 417pp., . Series: Studies on war and genocide ; v. 8 "Few essays about the Holocaust are better known or more important than Primo Levi's reflections on what he called "the gray zone," a reality in which moral ambiguity and compromise were pronounced. In this volume, accomplished Holocaust scholars explore the terrain that Levi identified. Together they bring a necessary interdisciplinary focus to bear on timely and often controversial topics in cutting-edge Holocaust studies that range from historical analysis to popular culture. While each essay utilizes a particular methodology and argues for its own thesis, the volume as a whole advances the claim that the more we learn about the Holocaust, the more complex that event turns out to be. Only if ambiguities and compromises in the Holocaust and its aftermath are identified and explored, and at times allowed to remain - lest resolution deceive us - will our awareness of the Holocaust and its implications be as full as possible." - CONTENTS: The ambiguities of evil and justice : Degussa, Robert Pross, and the Jewish slave laborers at Gleiwitz / Peter Hayes -- 'Alleviation' and 'compliance' : the survival strategies of the Jewish leadership in the Wierzbnik Ghetto and the Starachowice factory slave labor camps / Christopher R.
