This book is the second in a series of studies published under the
auspices of the Institute for Holocaust Studies of the Graduate
School and U niver sity Center of The City University of New York.
Like the first book, it is an outgrowth of the lectures and special
studies sponsored by the institute during the 1981-82 and 1982-83
academic years. This volume is divided into five parts. Part I,
Ethics and the Holocaust, contains a pioneering investigation of
one of the most neglected areas in Holocaust studies. Francine
Klagsbrun, a well-known writer and popular lecturer, provides an
erudite overview of the value of life in Jewish thought and
tradition. With full understanding of the talmudic scholars'
position on Jewish ethics and using concrete examples of the
life-and death dilemmas that confronted many Jews in their
concentration camp experiences, Klagsbrun provides dramatic
evidence of the triumph of moral and ethical principles over the
forces of evil during the Holocaust, this darkest period in Jewish
history. The next two chapters, grouped under the heading The
Allies and the Holocaust, deal with the failure of the Western
Allies to respond to the desperate needs of the persecuted Jews of
Europe during the Second World War. The first is by Professor Bela
Vago, an authority on the Holocaust and East Central European
history at the University of Haifa."
