This text documents a virtually unknown chapter in the history of the refusal of Jews throughout the ages to surrender. The author employs wide-ranging scholarship to the Holocaust and the memories associated with it, in affirmation of both continuities and violent endings.

Editorial Reviews

Review

[A] profound, subtle, and deeply moving book. ― Boston Globe

Roskies's work, densely argued, richly allusive, exemplary in its far-ranging scholarship, is itself a deeply felt response to the Holocaust and its memories; an affirmation of continuities as well as violent endings. ― Times Literary Supplement

Eloquent and moving . . . Against the Apocalypse documents a virtually unknown chapter in the history of the refusal of Jews throughout the ages to surrender. ― New York Times Book Review

Winner of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award of Phi Beta Kappa
