BEREL LANG'S previous books include Act and Idea in the Nazi Genocide and Holocaust-Representation: Art within the Limits of History and Ethics. Since 2005, he has been Visiting Professor of Philosophy and Letters at Wesleyan University.
"[An] important book . . . . Lang emphasizes that the historical
and philosophical study of the Holocaust is a moral act that
relates essentially to reality; in studying the Holocaust we
attempt to establish, as accurately as possible, what actually
happened, and to discover therein the truth about ourselves and our
world."--Holocaust and Genocide Studies
"[Lang's] analysis moves beyond the frailties of eyewitness
accounts to the multifaceted senses of witnessing . . . Lang's
exploration includes what it means to be a 'philosophical' witness
not directly linked to genocidal atrocities. . .
Recommended."--Choice
"[T]his is a fine set of essays that come together in significant
ways on basic moral questions of our time. Ethicists in particular
will find Lang's reflections extremely enriching."--H-JUDAIC
