This volume constitutes the first collection of original Hasidic tales to be published in a century.<br><br>"An important work of scholarship and a sudden clear window onto the heretofore sealed world of the Hasidic reaction to the Holocaust. Its true stories and fanciful miracle tales are a profound and often poignant insight into the souls of those who suffered terribly at the hands of the Nazis and who managed somehow to use that very suffering as the raw material for their renewed lives." -- Chaim Potok<br><br>"A beautiful collection." -- Saul Bellow<br><br>"Yaffa Eliach provides us with stories that are wonderful and terrible -- true myths. We learn how people, when suffering dying, and surviving can call forth their humanity with starkness and clarity. She employs her scholarly gifts only to connect the tellers of the tales, who bear witness, to the reader who is stunned and enriched." -- Robert J. Lifton<br><br>"In the extensive literature on the Holocaust, this is a unique book. Through it we can attain a glimpse of the victims' inner life and spiritual resources. Yaffa Eliach has done a superb job." -- Jehuda Reinharz 1297668 1982 Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust total:21|5:9|4:6|3:4|2:1|1:1| 21 84 44 5 4 1 false false Fri Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 1988 Thu Jul 31 08:13:10 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 09:05:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Nov 21 09:00:46 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 21 09:01:31 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Wed Jul 02 09:53:22 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 13:18:05 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 19 12:54:02 -0700 2007 Thu Apr 19 13:10:58 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Thu Feb 21 05:32:26 -0800 2008 Wed May 28 04:58:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 14:11:36 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 14:11:36 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 22 10:46:50 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 10:46:50 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 16 18:49:45 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 18:49:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 09 15:12:16 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 15:12:16 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 09 11:38:54 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 11:38:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 18:23:39 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 18:23:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 08 22:37:36 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 08 22:37:36 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Feb 24 22:15:11 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 22:15:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 16 11:26:49 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 11:26:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Dec 25 15:35:46 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 15:35:46 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 07 19:07:49 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 19:07:49 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 17 15:57:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 17 15:57:00 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 21 10:41:11 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 10:41:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 01 11:42:50 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 01 11:42:50 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 25 16:04:23 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 16:04:23 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=327496
