Abstract:
Anyone who analyses pictures of the Holocaust faces an infinite amount of problems which involve a constant swing between revulsion, emotional participation, and an identification with oppressive fates on the one hand, and the necessity to examine the works in an intelligent and aware manner in order to expose the motivations and methods of the artists on the other. Amishai-Maisels has succeeded in finding the correct balance between empathy and rational analysis Ha'aretz, Book Review Supplement [Hebrew] Professor Moshe Davis Ziva Amishai-Maisels' magnum opus is a monument of artistic conception, learning and design. It is sculptured scholarship ... unique in contemporary Jewish historiography.
