The American-Jewish philosopher Berel Lang has left an indelible
impression on an unusually broad range of fields that few scholars
can rival. From his earliest innovations in philosophy and
meta-philosophy, to his ground-breaking work on representation,
historical writing, and art after Auschwitz, he has contributed
original and penetrating insights to the philosophical, literary,
and historical debates on ethics, art, and the representation of
the Nazi Genocide. In honor of Berel Lang's five decades of
scholarly and philosophical contributions, the editors of Ethics,
Art and Representations of the Holocaust invited seventeen eminent
scholars from around the world to discuss Lang's impact on their
own research and to reflect on how the Nazi genocide continues to
resonate in contemporary debates about antisemitism, commemoration
and poetic representations. Resisting what Alvin Rosenfeld warned
as "the end of the Holocaust", the essays in this collection signal
the Holocaust as an event without closure, of enduring resonance to
new generations of scholars of genocide, Jewish studies, and
philosophy. Readers will find original and provocative essays on
topics as diverse as Nietzsche's reputed Nazi leanings, Jewish
anti-apartheid activists in South Africa, wartime rescue in Poland,
philosophical responses to the Holocaust, hidden diaries in the
Kovno Ghetto, and analyses of reactions to trauma in classic
literary works by Bernhard Schlink, Sylvia Plath, and Derek
Walcott.
