Admitting the Holocaust by Lawrence L Langer
This volume collects Langer's most provocative and poignant essays on the Holocaust. Examining themes such as the importance of memory and the impossibility of describing suffering, the book touches upon the experience of the ghetto and the camp, survivors and victims, those who have given eyewitness testimony and those who have created fictions or films. The result is a moving, eloquently written introduction to Langer's unflinching vision of a tragedy offering no consolation.Lawrence L. Langer is Alumnae Chair Professor of English Emeritus at Simmons College. His publications include The Holocaust and the Literary Imagination, Holocaust Testimonies: The Ruins of Memory, Art from the Ashes: A Holocaust Anthology, and Preempting the Holocaust.
Samuel Bak had the first exhibition of his drawings at the age of nine in the Vilna ghetto. Escaping after its destruction, he emigrated to Israel, where he studied at the Bezalel Art School in Jerusalem. Now an internationally prominent artist living in the Boston area, Bak has had solo exhibitions of his work at galleries in the United States, Israel and Europe. Landscapes of Jewish Experience: Paintings by Samuel Bak, with essay and commentary by Lawrence L. Langer, was published in 1997.
