{"product_id":"judging-privileged-jews-adam-brown-9780857459916","title":"Judging 'Privileged' Jews: Holocaust Ethics, Representation, and the 'Grey Zone'","description":"\u003cp\u003e The Nazis' persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust included the creation of prisoner hierarchies that forced victims to cooperate with their persecutors. Many in the camps and ghettos came to hold so-called \"privileged\" positions, and their behavior has often been judged as self-serving and harmful to fellow inmates. Such controversial figures constitute an intrinsically important, frequently misunderstood, and often taboo aspect of the Holocaust. Drawing on Primo Levi's concept of the \"grey zone,\" this study analyzes the passing of moral judgment on \"privileged\" Jews as represented by writers, such as Raul Hilberg, and in films, including Claude Lanzmann's \u003cem\u003eShoah\u003c\/em\u003e and Steven Spielberg's \u003cem\u003eSchindler's List\u003c\/em\u003e. Negotiating the problems and potentialities of \"representing the unrepresentable,\" this book engages with issues that are fundamental to present-day attempts to understand the Holocaust and deeply relevant to reflections on human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857459910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857459916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2014","brand":"Adam Brown","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48087022633215,"sku":"9780857459916","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f90c6335-1b46-4c26-b857-439461e99aa3.jpg?v=1769097850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/judging-privileged-jews-adam-brown-9780857459916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
