These find expression in Diary entries that describe the sites as they now are and scope the problems they raise for both Jews and Christians. The book thus places the Holocaust at the centre of Jewish-Christian dialogue. In face of the silence of God and the choiceless choices of the victims, the central question is how we - Jews and Christians - can talk agency either of God or the inmates. With a view to opening a conversation between Auschwitz and Golgotha, the author invites the Jewish interlocutor into a consideration of the Jewish victim Christ in the 'no-way-out' of the cross. Can there then be mutual recognition between the many Jews of heroic faith and self-sacrificing love in the death camps and the victim caring Christ? Three examples are cited: a Mrs Levy at Auschwitz; the Paris Rabbi, Berek Kofman; and Janusz Korczak at Treblinka. These and others like them embody an ethic of caring that allow us to be hopeful about the modern world. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 0 Judaism |xRelations |xChristianity |y1945- 650 0 Christianity and other religions |xJudaism |y1945- 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 650 7 Christianity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00859599 650 7 Ethics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 Interfaith relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353343 650 7 Judaism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00984280 648 7 Since 1939 |2fast 830 0 Judaica et Christiana ; |v26. 852 0 |bstacks |hD804.3 |iP455 2017
