The Holocaust and Israel Restored: From Rupture to Revival

The chapters in this volume examine facets in the drama of Jewish existence in the tumultuous years of the Twentieth Century and beyond. They include Theodor Herzl as Zionism’s driven prophet; James G. McDonald’s valiant effort to alert the world to the Nazi menace; the darkening shadow of the swastika in the 1930s across the European Continent; the Revisionist-Zionist campaign for a Jewish Army in World War II; a debate on Zionism and Jewish survival after the Shoah; the 1947 legal brief for a Jewish State; Poland’s distortion of the Holocaust; and The Jews Were Expendable – forty years later. Joining extensive archival research and a limpid prose, Professor Monty Noam Penkower again displays a definitive mastery of his craft.
