This book examines the critical role of trains in the Nazi genocide, specifically the "Final Solution." It analyzes the experiences of Jewish victims during forced relocations, from ghettos to concentration camps, using memoirs and testimonies. The author argues that these train journeys were as significant as the camps themselves.
In honor of Berel Lang's five decades of scholarly and philosophical contributions, the editors of Ethics, Art and Representations of the Holocaust invited seventeen eminent scholars from around the world to discuss Lang's impact on their own research and to reflect on how the Nazi genocide continues to resonate in contemporary debates about antisemitism, commemoration and poetic representations. Resisting what Alvin Rosenfeld warned as "the end of the Holocaust", the essays in this collection signal the Holocaust as an event without closure, of enduring resonance to new generations of scholars of genocide, Jewish studies, and philosophy.
