Of the 6,000,000 Jews who perished in the Holocaust, at least
160,000 were Sephardim: descendants of Jews exiled from Spain in
1492. Although the horror of the camps was recorded by members of
the Sephardic community, their suffering at the hands of Nazi
Germany remained virtually unknown to the rest of the world. With
this collection, their long silence is broken.
And the World Stood Silent gathers the Sephardim's French,
Greek, Italian, and Judeo-Spanish poems, accompanied by English
translations, about their long journey to the concentration and
extermination camps. Isaac Jack Levy also surveys the 2,000-year
history of the Sephardim and discusses their poetry in relation to
major religious, historical, and philosophical questions.
Wrenchingly conveying the pathos and suffering of the Jewish
community during World War II, And the World Stood Silent is
invaluable as a historical account and as a documentary source.
