They envisaged themselves as the living bridge between destruction and rebirth, the last remnants of a world destroyed and the active agents of its return to life. Much of what has been written elsewhere looks at the Surviving Remnant through the eyes of others and thus has often failed to disclose the tragic complexity of their lives together with their remarkable political and social achievements. Despite having lost everyone and everything, they got on with their lives, they married, had children and worked for a better future. They did not surrender to the deformities of suffering and managed to preserve their humanity intact. Mankowitz uses largely inaccessible archival material to give a moving and sensitive account of this neglected area in the aftermath of the Holocaust.Studies in the social and cultural history of modern warfare ;12.Life between Memory & HopeJewsGermanyHistory1945-1990Holocaust survivorsGermanyJewish refugeesGermanyHistory20th centuryJewsHistoryHolocaust survivorsJewish refugeesHistory943/.004924Mankowitz Zeev W.1549246UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910783123903321Life between memory and hope3807102UNINA
