More than fifty years after it ended, the Holocaust continues to
leave survivors and their descendants, as well as historians,
philosophers, and theologians, searching for words to convey the
enormity of that event. Efforts to express its realities and its
impact on successive generations often stretch language to the
breaking point--or to the point of silence. Words whose meaning was
contested before the Holocaust prove even more fragile in its wake.
David Patterson and John K. Roth identify three such "after-words":
forgiveness, reconciliation, and justice. These words, though
forever altered by the Holocaust, are still spoken and heard. But
how should the concepts they represent be understood? How can their
integrity be restored within the framework of current philosophical
and, especially, religious traditions? Writing in a format that
creates the feel of dialogue, the nine contributors to After-Words
tackle these and other difficult questions about the nature of
memory and forgiveness after the Holocaust to encourage others to
participate in similar inter- and intrafaith inquiries. The
contributors to After-Words are members of the Pastora Goldner
Holocaust Symposium. Led since its founding in 1996 by Leonard Grob
and Henry Knight, the symposium's Holocaust and genocide
scholars--a group that is interfaith, international,
interdisciplinary, and intergenerational--meet biennially in
Oxfordshire, England.
