A sensitive and original book. It's a gem that creatively demonstrates how memoir literature addresses the break in the cosmos wrought by the Shoah. Moving beyond earlier literary interpretations, David Patterson speaks poetically of the soul's memory of itself, and of God. He writes with both insight and reverence in demonstrating how the recovery attested in memoir literature is, like the Jewish tradition itself, eternal., Patterson applies the basics of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophical ideas (especially those in the areas of ethics and belief) to develop a portion of his methodology for interpreting the memoirs of Holocaust survivors. This study uniquely combines historical Jewish rabbinical teachings and the theories of Levinas into a coherent whole, treating the memoir as a tool for Holocaust survivors to slowly come to terms with their experiences. Patterson examines the themes of mother, father, loss, the existence of God, and the duty to bear witness. Studies of individual Holocaust memoirs (e.g., Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz, MacMillan, 1993) or a series of memoirs by a single author (e.g., Elie Wiesel) have been available to readers, but Patterson accesses more obscure writers, expanding the knowledge of Holocaust literature considerably. However, because of the complex phenomenological treatment of the topic, this study will be of interest mainly to collections specializing in the Holocaust or 20th-century philosophy., Patterson applies the basics of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophical ideas (especially those in the areas of ethics and belief) to develop a portion of his methodology for interpreting the memoirs of Holocaust survivors.

Patterson reinterprets Holocaust narratives from the perspective of post-Holocaust philosophy and theology. In doing so, he restores not only a religious, but a human, dimension to the subject.

Synopsis
An examination of the recorded memoirs of 50 Holocaust survivors. Patterson draws on the sacred texts of Jewish tradition and the philosophy of Fackenheim and Levinas. He discusses the recovery of tradition, recovery seen as recovery from illness, and recovery as a process which has no resolution., In examining the recorded memoirs of fifty Holocaust survivors, David Patterson draws on the teaching of the sacred texts of Jewish tradition and the philosophy of Emil Fackenheim and Emmanuel Levinas. That memory, he argues, serves three purposes for Jews struggling to recover after the Holocaust. First, a recovery of tradition: Not only was the body of Israel targeted for destruction, but also its very soul, as that soul was defined by God, Torah, and sacred history. Second, a recovery from an illness: These Jews suffer from the illness of indifference that plagued heaven and earth throughout the event. Third, these memoirs reveal the open-ended nature of recovery as a process that has no resolution: The survivors emerge from the camps, but the camps stay with the survivors and cast their shadow over the world. Readers are transformed into witnesses who face a never-ending process of remembrance, for the sacred, in spite of indifference.
