| Summary: | Jean Améry's At the Mind's Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and Its Realities contains a chapter ‘On the necessity and impossibility of being a Jew’. In To Mend the World: Foundations of Future Jewish Thought, Emil Fackenheim asserts that ‘Christianity is ruptured by the Holocaust.’ Based on those perspectives, this essay reflects on the impossibility and necessity of being a Christian in a post-Holocaust world. |
