After the Holocaust by Michael Brenner
Offers an account of the lives of the Jews who remained in Germany immediately following the war. This book analyzes such diverse aspects as liberation from concentration camps, cultural and religious life among the Jewish Displaced Persons, and the complex relationship between East European and German Jews.
"A very readable and useful study, written with the engaged sympathy of an insider and the balanced judgments of a fine historian"--Kirkus Reviews "If the middle section of interviews seems redundant, it is only because Brenner has covered the material so well and so succinctly elsewhere [in the book]."--Publishers Weekly "The history that Brenner deftly recounts confounds any urge to extract simple lessons from the Holocaust or its aftermath... Brenner has instead provided something more fragile and more valuable, a reminder that the way people reassemble their lives after tragedy is miraculously complicated."--Noah J. Efron, The Boston Book Review
