A propos de cet article

PAPERBACK, fine copy, essentially like a new book. PETROPOULOS, JONATHAN / ROTH, JOHN K., ed. . Gray zones: ambiguity and compromise in the Holocaust and its aftermath. Edited and introduced by Jonathan Petropoulos and John K. Roth. New York: Berghahn Books, 2005, xxii, 417pp., . Series: Studies on war and genocide ; v. 8 "Few essays about the Holocaust are better known or more important than Primo Levi's reflections on what he called "the gray zone," a reality in which moral ambiguity and compromise were pronounced. In this volume, accomplished Holocaust scholars explore the terrain that Levi identified. Together they bring a necessary interdisciplinary focus to bear on timely and often controversial topics in cutting-edge Holocaust studies that range from historical analysis to popular culture. While each essay utilizes a particular methodology and argues for its own thesis, the volume as a whole advances the claim that the more we learn about the Holocaust, the more complex that event turns out to be. Only if ambiguities and compromises in the Holocaust and its aftermath are identified and explored, and at times allowed to remain - lest resolution deceive us - will our awareness of the Holocaust and its implications be as full as possible." - CONTENTS: The ambiguities of evil and justice : Degussa, Robert Pross, and the Jewish slave laborers at Gleiwitz / Peter Hayes -- 'Alleviation' and 'compliance' : the survival strategies of the Jewish leadership in the Wierzbnik Ghetto and the Starachowice factory slave labor camps / Christopher R.
