(1) YA With illuminating source notes an essential component of the whole, Schmidt retells twenty-two Jewish tales in the context of the Holocaust. The tales flicker across a spectrum from transcendent hope to the absolute bleakness of a universe deserted by God. There is even humor, much of it conveyed through language. This collection should inspire both lively thought and sober meditation.
