Description: Hi! You're looking at an excellent condition book which is an examination of the legacy of the Nazi Holocaust written by EVA HOFFMAN--the book is a FIRST PRINTING and a softcover copy. This book is in excellent condition and is an UNCIRCULATED former library copy with typical markings but NO checkout pouch; the book has slight dings on the spine and opening tips, a VERY slight forward list of the spine end, a slight scuff on the upper page edge near the spine end and just slight shelfwear and very light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant imperfections! The book is titled After Such Knowledge: Memory, History and the Legacy of the Holocaust and it was written by EVA HOFFMAN; it was published by PublicAffairs in 2004 and is a 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.As the Holocaust recedes in time and comes to be regarded as no more serious than a pie in the face prank in some misguided circles, the guardianship of its legacy is being passed on from its survivors and witnesses to the next generation. How should they, in turn, convey its knowledge to others? What are the effects of a traumatic past on its inheritors? And what are the second-generation's responsibilities to its received memories?In this meditation on the long aftermath of atrocity, Eva Hoffman -- a child of Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust with the help of neighbors, but whose entire families perished -- probes these questions through personal reflections, and through broader explorations of the historical, psychological, and moral implications of the second-generation experience. She examines the subterranean processes through which private memories of suffering are transmitted, and the more willful stratagems of collective memory. She traces the "second generation's" trajectory from childhood intimations of horror, through its struggles between allegiance and autonomy, and its complex transactions with children of perpetrators. As she guides us through the poignant juncture at which living memory must be relinquished, she asks what insights can be carried from the past to the newly problematic present, and urges us to transform potent family stories into a fully informed understanding of a forbidding history.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
