The Holocaust changed what it means to be a Jew, for Jew and
non-Jew alike. Much of the discussion about this new meaning is a
storm of contradictions. In "The Imaginary Jew," Alain Finkielkraut
describes with passion and acuity his own passage through that
storm.
Finkielkraut decodes the shifts in anti-Semitism at the end of
the Cold War, chronicles the impact of Israel's policies on
European Jews, opposes arguments both for and against cultural
assimilation, reopens questions about Marx and Judaism, and marks
the loss of European Jewish culture through catastrophe, ignorance,
and cliche. He notes that those who identified with Israel
continued the erasure of European Judaism, forgetting the pangs and
glories of Yiddish culture and the legacy of the Diaspora.
