Esther Farbstein

  • ... that Israeli scholar Esther Farbstein found new sources for Holocaust research in rabbinical works that have nothing to do with the Holocaust? Source: "When he comes to write the preface, he drops his political persona. There is not even a whisper of politics in what he writes here. This treasure trove was ignored by Holocaust historians because the actual books, in contrast to the prefaces, often have nothing to do with the Shoah" (The Jerusalem Post)
    • ALT1:... that Israeli Holocaust scholar Esther Farbstein focuses on the spiritual–rather than physical–resistance of Jews to Nazi persecution? Source: "To redress that balance, Esther Farbstein entered into the academic study of the Holocaust. People will naturally write about what they know best, she recognized, and so the history of spiritual responses to Holocaust would have to be written by those who inhabit the same spiritual universe."
