In it, the sacredness of the Almighty One is affirmed. In her new gathering of sixty poems, award-winning author Jane Yolen gives us a feminist view of Biblical themes and personalities such as Eve, Sarah, David and Goliath. The poems then morph into those about the Holocaust and after. Yolen's unflinching and stark record of the many death camp horrors serve as reminders of that era's brutality and the unrelenting suffering visited upon an innocent people. \"Knowing means remembrance,\" Yolen writes--as each poem becomes a memorial, a teaching, a warning for our and future generations. Her book concludes: \"... no Jew truly escapes\/that time, those places, \/unscarred, unscathed.\/I have no numbers on my arms, \/But I have studied the charts, \/the cities, the deaths, \/till I know them by heart.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Yolen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Holy Cow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998601090","brand":"Holy Cow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713312100489,"sku":"9780998601090","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_22b89d57-4ed2-4d98-ad5a-6833954b2bc4.jpg?v=1719608612","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/kaddish-before-the-holocaust-and-after-9780998601090","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
