ABSTRACT
This title derives from a memorable line of Alexander Baron, a British novelist (Baron, 1980, pp. 66-72). What impact did the destruction of European Jewry have on your work, he was asked. A personal incident, he replied, “broke through whatever membrane of resistance had formed in my mind,” and thereafter he was “completely invaded by the knowledge of what had happened. Not a single day passes without some thought or picture of the Churban assailing me.” 1
