This book analyzes the dialectic relations between the two major
components of the collective Jewish identity - the Holocaust and
the state of Israel. The symbolic points for the beginning and the
end of From Auschwitz to Jerusalem are the Eichmann trial in Israel
and the founding of the Memorial Museum in Washington in 1993. At
the first point the question was: has Israel the right to judge
Eichmann in the name of the world Jewish people and at the second
point, what is the Memorial representing: the unique Jewish tragedy
or a universal problem? The research for the book was done on the
basis of constant comparison between the discourses in Israel and
the Diaspora, especially in the USA but also in England.
