Are we right to talk of «worthy» and «unworthy» death in the Holocaust? What are the implications of Adam Mickiewicz’s philo-Semitism? In Zygmunt Krasiński’s anti-Semitism, do we see the «specter of elimination»? Are humanist and enlightenment values useful in analyzing the Holocaust, or did the experience of Nazi genocide render them obsolete? Tracing the history of anti-Jewish stereotypes in early nineteenth-century Poland (and beyond), the author offers answers to these questions that are bold, clear and compassionate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: The Jewish Colonel – Polish Antisemitism and its Founding Myth – Leonard’s Eastern Eyes – Three Variations on the Jewish Theme in Mickiewicz – Mickiewicz’s Jewish Legion – The Irony of Calek Perechodnik – Kertész: «Even if I may seem to be talking about something quite different, I am still talking about Auschwitz».","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044218798423,"sku":"9783631623572","price":45.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hero-conspiracy-and-death-the-jewish-lectures-translated-by-alex-shannon-9783631623572","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
