It is the tale of how one newly takes on the world, having lived in the midst of corpses strewn about in the scores of thousands, and how one can possibly resume life in the aftermath of such experiences. It is the story of the child who decides, upon growing up, that the only career that makes sense for him in light of these years of horror is to become someone sensitive to the deepest flaws of humanity, a teacher of God's role in history amidst the traditions that attempt to understand it and to become a rabbi. Readers will not emerge unscathed from this searing work, written by a distinguished, Boston-based rabbi and academic. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Polak, Joseph,|d1942- 600 10 Polak, Joseph,|d1942-|xPhilosophy. 610 20 Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp) 610 20 Westerbork (Concentration camp) 650 0 Holocaust survivors|vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|zNetherlands|zHague |vPersonal narratives. 650 0 Jewish children in the Holocaust|zNetherlands|zHague |vBiography. 650 0 Jews|zNetherlands|zHague|vBiography. 650 0 Mother and child|zNetherlands|zHague|vBiography. 650 0 Rabbis|zMassachusetts|zBoston|vBiography. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 776 0 |iOther version:|aPolak, Joseph, 1942-|tAfter the Holocaust the bells still ring.|dJerusalem : Urim Publications, 2014.|z9789655241624 (hardcover : alkaline paper)|w(DLC)2014031046 914 frd00020804
