Some Theological Aspects of Jewish Memory in the Holocaust Memoir

While the Holocaust memoir is not a theological text, as part of Jewish memory and Jewish life it contains certain theological aspects, for Jewish life is an especially religious life. Several scholars have demonstrated that the Nazis' assault on Jewish being included an assault on the divine being manifested by the Jewish presence. That assault is revealed in the Holocaust memoir through a concern with God. After showing that the concern is indeed there, this article examines three primary manifestations of the concern: the theological aspects of the memoir unfold through the memory of the child, the memory of prayer, and the memory of memory itself.
