Abstract:
An earlier version was presented at the "Remembering for the Future" conference, Oxford, July 1988. Examines the distinction between witnessing and bearing witness, the symbolism of second generation Holocaust literature, and the possible theological meaning of the issues raised in the context of the contemporary problematic of Jewish identity. Discusses the works of Elie Wiesel, Art Spiegelman's "Maus, " Barbara Finkelstein's "Summer Long-a-Coming, " and stories by Lev Raphael.
