Yizkor
(Holocaust Memorial) Books
http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/jws/yizkorbooks_intro.cfm
650 titles; Yizker books, so-called after the Hebrew word for
remember used in prayers for the dead, originated in the 13th
century and gained enormous importance in the wake of the events
of 1933-1945. The rise of this quintessentially medieval genre
and its return to the forefront in the twentieth century bracket
northern Europe's lengthy run as one of the poles of global
Jewish civilization. |
