The full horror of the genocide and the sublime of those who resisted are given voice on these pages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlacing each group in its historic and literary context with comprehensive introductory essays, Professor Kramer presents works mostly unavailable in English--until now. For the very first time, readers can become familiar with poets who experienced the horrors of the ghettos and the death camps and survived: Soviet poets; American poets who were forever transformed by the Holocaust. Kramer also introduces the 1944 Terezin opera \u003ci\u003eDer Kaiser von Atlantis\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Last Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the richness of a half-annihilated language that, in the pain of its survivors, was made more beautiful than ever before. Unlike most other translators, Kramer insists on maintaining the music of the original Yiddish, the often \"folkish\" cadence and rhyme that, he believes, are a precious part of these poems' legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Kramer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Religion, Theology and the Holocaust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.04w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815605799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42439224950921,"sku":"9780815605799","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_997ae349-6c51-4049-a6f3-6e9b5932e883.jpg?v=1716270340","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-last-lullaby-poetry-from-the-holocaust-9780815605799","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
