Hasidic Responses to the Holocaust in the Light of Hasidic Thought

Meer over het boek

An amazing book discussing the evidence that many Hasidim faced death in the Holocaust with a defiant and even joyful acceptance of the Divine decree. Dr. Schindler shows how they thrwarted the Germans' efforts to reduce them to sub-human status and explores various trends within Hasidic thought in its response to suffering in general, and the Holocaust in particular.
