Renewing the Fear a Jew Goes to Berlin Michael Selzer

These reflections on the Nazi Holocaust open with the author's childhood in a prison camp and culminate in a short but profoundly disturbing visit to Berlin sixty-five years later. Although addressing many issues, Selzer focuses particularly on the problems of remembering the victims and their persecutors, taking as his starting point the Biblical injunction, "Remember what Amalek did to you." Many will find these reflections troubling, few will deny their profundity and importance.
