Act and Idea in the Nazi Genocide

Religion, Theology and the Holocaust

by Berel Lang

The Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews unmistakably defined both the act and the idea of genocide. In this book, Berel Lang argues that the events of the Nazi genocide compel reconsideration of such fundamental moral concepts as individual and group responsibility, the role of knowledge in ethical decisions, and the conditions governing the relation between guilt and forgiveness.
