This book is a linguistic-cultural study of the emergence of the
Jewish ghettos during the Holocaust. It traces the origins and uses
of the term 'ghetto' in European discourse from the sixteenth
century to the Nazi regime. It examines with a magnifying glass
both the actual establishment of and the discourse of the Nazis and
their allies on ghettos from 1939 to 1944. With conclusions that
oppose all existing explanations and cursory examinations of the
ghetto, the book impacts overall understanding of the anti-Jewish
policies of Nazi Germany.

How did the Ultraorthodox (Haredi) community chart a new path for
its future after it lost the core of its future leaders, teachers,
and rabbis in the Holocaust? How did the revival of this group come
into being in the new Zionist state of Israel? In Holocaust Memory
in Ultraorthodox Society in Israel, Michal Shaul highlights the
special role that Holocaust survivors played as they rebuilt and
consolidated Ultraorthodox society. Although many Haredi were
initially theologically opposed to the creation of Israel, they
have become a significant force in the contemporary life and
politics of the country. Looking at personal and public experiences
of Ultraorthodox survivors in the first years of emigration from
liberated Europe and breaking down how their memories entered the
public domain, Shaul documents how they were incorporated into the
collective memories of the Ultraorthodox in Israel. Holocaust
Memory in Ultraorthodox Society in Israel offers a rare mix of
empathy and scholarly rigor to understandings of the role that the
community's collective memories and survivor mentality have played
in creating Israel's national identity.
