| Итог: | Elisabeth Gallas’s first monograph explores how the cultural genocide Nazi Germany perpetrated against European Jews was followed, almost immediately, by innovative Jewish efforts to come to terms with this unprecedented rupture in civilization. More concretely, A Mortuary of Books, originally released in German in 2013 and slightly updated for this new English edition, offers a wide-ranging history of the Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, Inc. (JCR), which tried to reverse, as much as was possible, the systematic looting of Jewish books, documents, and artwork, and whose ambitions soon yielded a novel concept of restitution. |
