Confronting Adonai after Auschwitz

Beschreibung

Out of the horror of the abyss, a Book of Psalms that laments, accuses, rages, weeps and yet, somehow, still addresses God. By the son of two Auschwitz survivors.

Born in 1948 in the Displaced Persons camp of Bergen-Belsen in Germany, the son of two survivors of the Nazi death and concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, Menachem Z. Rosensaft is adjunct professor of law at Cornell Law School, lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School, general counsel emeritus of the World Jewish Congress, and a past president of Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City. He is the author of Poems Born in Bergen-Belsen (Kelsay Books, 2021) and editor of God, Faith & Identity from the Ashes: Reflections of Children and Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors (Jewish Lights Publishing, 2015) and Life Reborn, Jewish Displaced Persons 1945-1951 (U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, 2001).
