The Holocaust Is Over; We Must Rise from Its Ashes

Modern day Israel, and the Jewish community, is strongly influenced by the memory and horrors of Hitler and the Holocaust. Burg argues that#xA0;the Jewish#xA0;nation#xA0;has been traumatized and has lost the ability to trust#xA0;itself, its#xA0;neighbors or the world around it.#xA0;He shows that#xA0;this is one of #xA0;the causes for the growing nationalism and violence that are plaguing Israeli#xA0;society and reverberating through Jewish communities worldwide.#xA0;Burg uses his own family history--his parents were Holocaust survivors--to inform his innovative views on what#xA0;the#xA0;Jewish people#xA0;need to do to move on and eventually live in peace with their Arab neighbors and feel comfortable in world at large. Thought-provoking, compelling, and original,#xA0;this book is bound to spark a heated debate around the world.
