First printing. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is new. xiv/360 pages. ""In Repentance for the Holocaust," C. K. Martin Chung develops the biblical idea of "turning" (tshuvah) into a conceptual framework to analyze a particular area of contemporary German history, commonly referred to as Vergangenheitsbewältigung or "coming to terms with the past." Chung examines a selection of German responses to the Nazi past, their interaction with the victims responses, such as those from Jewish individuals, and their correspondence with biblical repentance.
