A powerful, life-affirming new perspective on the Holocaust available to coincide with the seventieth anniversary of the end of WWII and the liberation of the Nazi death and concentration camps by Allied troops. For the children and grandchildren of Holocaust (Shoah) survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution, the suffering and survival of their immediate ancestors and the annihilation of virtually their entire families have in large part shaped their perspectives on God, faith and Jewish identity. This extremely personal and often idiosyncratic legacy was transmitted first and foremost by the survivors to their own children and grandchildren. There is no single form of this legacy. Some survivors spoke about their experiences in the ghettos and camps; others enveloped themselves and their families in a cloud of silence, shrouding their past in an aura of mystery and secrecy. There have been many books and studies about children of survivors—the so-called Second and Third Generations—with a psycho-social focus. This book is different. It is intended to reflect what they believe, who they are and how that informs what they are doing with their lives. With almost ninety contributors from a broad range of occupational, professional and geographic backgrounds in sixteen countries on six continents, this collection represents the widest possible religious, political and ideological spectrum. Despite the contributor’s diversity, common themes shine through. These emotionally powerful, deeply moving statements will have a profound effect on the way our and future generations understand and shape their understanding of the Holocaust and their own personal identity in years to come.

“Writing with their hearts and minds, these children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors remember the horrors experienced by their parents, and reflect on the understandings of God that animate their own lives. A truly interesting book!” —SUSANNAH HESCHEL, TG

Reconnect with Judaism’s most important contribution to humanity—and redeem our world. “ The gift of Judaism is an understanding of what it means to be a human being— what we can do, what we can hope for, how we can live with purpose, what is expected of us. It is a celebration of human freedom, human possibility and human responsibility. Judaism is a way to live a heroic life, to construct a life devoted to values that are eternal, values of ultimate significance. The reward of a Jewish life is walking the world with a profound faith that you matter, your life matters, your dreams matter. I call this chutzpah.” —FROM

Being Jewish. What does it mean today—and for the future? “Daniel Pearl’s last words are those of a Jew who was assassinated only for his Jewishness. They will resonate in many hearts.... For a Jew, Judaism and TG humanity must go together. To be Jewish is to recognize that every person is created in God’s image and thus worthy of respect. Being Jewish to me is to reject fanaticism everywhere.” —ELIE WIESEL in I Am Jewish

Judea and Ruth Pearl, the parents of Daniel Pearl, are cofounders of the Daniel Pearl Foundation (www.danielpearl.org). The foundation’s mission is to promote cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music and innovative communication.
