The Memory of Goodness: Eva Fleischner and her Contributions to Holocaust Studies

by Dr. Carol Rittner, RSM (Editor), Dr. John K. Roth (Editor)

Overview

The Memory of Goodness contains probing essays by Eva Fleischner, a dedicated Catholic who became a remarkable, pioneering Holocaust scholar and educator. Gathered from the diverse books and journals in which they originally appeared, these writings focus on teaching, rescue and responsibility, and Jewish-Christian relations, the fields in which Fleischner made her most important contributions to Holocaust studies. They reveal Fleischner's fierce and unrelenting determination to reject the Christian tradition's "teaching of contempt" toward Jews and Judaism and to affirm the inclusive religious pluralism that flourishing post-Holocaust respect between Christians and Jews requires.
