Much post-Holocaust Jewish thought published in North America has
assumed that the Holocaust shattered traditional religious
categories that had been used by Jews to account for historical
catastrophes. But most traditional Jewish thinkers during the war
saw no such overwhelming of tradition in the death and suffering
delivered to Jews by Nazis. Through a comparative reading of
postwar North American and wartime Orthodox Jewish texts about the
Holocaust, Barbara Krawcowicz shows that these sources differ in
the paradigms-modern and historicist for North American thinkers,
traditional and covenantal for Orthodox thinkers-in which they
employ historical events.
