Meditations of a Holocaust TravelerSUNY Press, 1995 M08 23 - 185 pages Markle grasps at the Holocaust, not only from the writings of survivors and academic specialists, but also from his experience as a tourist of the Holocaust. He challenges the way we typically think about the Holocaust: them versus us; then versus now; there versus here. He travels across time, place, and subject to ponder the meaning of the Holocaust for contemporary cultures. |
