Despite an outpouring of scholarship on the Holocaust, little work
has focused on what happened to Europe's Jewish communities after
the war ended. And unlike many other European nations in which the
majority of the Jewish population perished, France had a
significant post-war Jewish community that numbered in the hundreds
of thousands. Post-Holocaust France and the Jews, 1945-1955 offers
new insight on key aspects of French Jewish life in the decades
following the end of World War II. How Jews had been treated during
the war continued to influence both Jewish and non-Jewish society
in the post-war years. The volume examines the ways in which moral
and political issues of responsibility combined with the urgent
problems and practicalities of restoration, and it illustrates how
national imperatives, international dynamics, and a changed
self-perception all profoundly helped to shape the fortunes of
postwar French Judaism.Comprehensive and informed, this volume
offers a rich variety of perspectives on Jewish studies, modern and
contemporary history, literary and cultural analysis, philosophy,
sociology, and theology. With contributions from leading scholars,
including Edward Kaplan, Susan Rubin Suleiman, and Jay Winter, the
book establishes multiple connections between such different areas
of concern as the running of orphanages, the establishment of new
social and political organisations, the restoration of teaching and
religious facilities, and the development of intellectual responses
to the Holocaust. Comprehensive and informed, this volume will be
invaluable to readers working in Jewish studies, modern and
contemporary history, literary and cultural analysis, philosophy,
sociology, and theology.
