9781640142152: The New German Jewish Literature: Holocaust Memory, Solidarity, and Worldliness

Synopsis

This is the first comprehensive account of the New German Jewish Literature that has been emerging since the early 1990s, characterized by tension between Jewish particularism and Jewish universalism. To what extent should Jewish identity be focused on the "Jewishness" of the Jewish experience, including the Holocaust? Or does "Jewish purpose" reside in expressing solidarity with persecuted minorities everywhere? Stuart Taberner argues that this new literature presents an aesthetically engaging and politically nuanced deliberation on Holocaust memory, solidarity, and worldliness, with surprising and radical implications for modern-day German Jewish and Jewish identity.
