  • Moshe Prager's Holocaust historicism

    Gershon GreenbergARTICLEHolocaust Studies2015References: 1

    Moshe Prager was the earliest historiographer of the Holocaust. He dedicated his life's work to probing into its abyss to contribute to the future revival of the Jewish people. Later scholars of the Holocaust were engaged either in standard empirical historical research, hagiography, or the catastrophe's mythic layer. Prager acted as an objective historian concerned with Jewish physical existence; with the hagiographer's ahistorical religious con…

  • R. Areleh Roth's Pristine Faith

    Gershon GreenbergARTICLEJournal of Modern Jewish Studies2015References: 1

    Areleh Roth responded to the Holocaust by labouring to have Jews actualize pristine faith. As the slaughter in Europe mended the sinful universe prior to the advent of the Messiah, the living were enjoined to bring to bear the faith which was experienced by Abraham and which the people of Israel inherited over the ages. This meant struggling against the forces of Amalek who clouded the perception of God's presence amid the tragedy. Under divine a…

  • German Displaced Persons Camps (1945-1948)

    Gershon GreenbergARTICLEHistorical Reflections/Réflexions…2013

    Orthodox Jews in postwar German Displaced Persons camps experienced the Holocaust's rupture of God's covenantal relationship with history and the eclipse of sacred reality. They sought to recapture that reality, even though the continuity of tradition that held it had been shattered. This was done by voluntarily reviving tradition, as if by doing so the sacred could be invoked. Following momentary suspension, they sought to restore ethnic-generat…

  • Sovereignty as Catastrophe

    Gershon GreenbergARTICLEHolocaust and Genocide Studies1994

    Agudat Israel president Jakob Rosenheim's unpublished materials and dispersed newspaper articles and pamphlets during the war reveal a distinctive theological interpretation of the catastrophe. Namely, that it resulted from an unbridled national sovereignty which began at the beginning of history with Nimrod and finally exploded with Hitler. Israel stood for the anti-sovereign principle and therefore suffered. As such, Israel was identifiable wit…

  • Faith, Ethics and the Holocaust’

    Gershon GreenbergARTICLEHolocaust and Genocide Studies1988Cited by: 1

    Kristallnacht evokes a theological response on the part of two leading Eastern European rabbis which reasserts the traditional perception of empirical events as functions of the covenantal structure Midrashically interpreted. All history is under divine aegis — the Nazis themselves are God's instruments. Within this context, Achiezer blames Reform Jews and Wassermann blames assimilation, nationalism and denunciation of Torah for the catastrophe. …
