{"product_id":"pilgrim-to-unholy-places-simon-lauer-9783034321945","title":"Pilgrim to Unholy Places: Christians and Jews Re-Visit the Holocaust","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased in New Zealand, the author, an Anglican priest, made a number of pilgrimages 1995-2008 to the extermination (and other camp) sites of the Third Reich, 1933-45. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCan 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Lauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3034321945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783034321945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Simon Lauer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089075220735,"sku":"9783034321945","price":117.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d3b3635-948b-4f50-ba49-56b8279a1b0c.jpg?v=1769108055","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pilgrim-to-unholy-places-simon-lauer-9783034321945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
