Their daughter, Ruth, grew up in the shadow of genocide--but in tandem with the birth of Israel, which remained her lodestar. She learned that although Jewishness is biologically transmitted, democracy is not, and both require intensive, intelligent transmission through education in each and every generation. They need adults with the confidence to teach their importance. Ruth tried to take on that challenge as dangers to freedom mounted and shifted sides on the political spectrum. At the high point of her teaching at Harvard University, she witnessed the unraveling of standards of honesty and truth until the academy she left was no longer the one she had entered."--Page 4 of dust jacket 505 0 Survival -- Freedom -- Responsibility -- Accommodation -- Discovery -- Destiny -- Perseverance -- Ascent -- Intellect -- Politics -- Contention -- Leadership -- Arrival -- Reckoning -- Resolve. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Wisse, Ruth R. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |vPersonal narratives. 650 0 Judaism and politics. 650 6 Holocauste, 1939-1945 |0(CaQQLa)201-0011801 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Holocauste, 1939-1945 |vRécits personnels. |0(CaQQLa)201-0128307 650 6 Judaïsme et politique. |0(CaQQLa)201-0214448 600 17 Wisse, Ruth R. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01439229 650 7 Judaism and politics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00984439 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |vPersonal narratives. |2nli 650 7 Children of Holocaust survivors |zUnited States |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 Judaism and politics. |2nli 650 7 Jews |zUnited States |xIdentity. |2nli 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 2 Biography. |0(DNLM)D019215 655 2 Autobiography. |0(DNLM)D020493 655 2 Personal Narrative. |0(DNLM)D062210 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Personal narratives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423843 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 655 7 Autobiographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 655 7 Récits personnels. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000517 852 0 |bscstacks |hCT310.W57 |iA3 2021
