During this festival of redemption, Jewish families retell the biblical story of Exodus using a ritual book known as a haggadah, often weaving modern tales of oppression through the biblical narrative. References to the Holocaust are some of the most common additions to contemporary haggadot. However, the parallel between ancient and modern oppression, which seems obvious to some, raises troubling questions for many others. Is it possible to find \u003ci\u003eany\u003c\/i\u003e redemptive meaning in the Nazi genocide? Are we adding value to this unforgivable moment in history?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e            Liora Gubkin critiques commemorations that violate memory by erasing the value of everyday life that was lost and collapse the diversity of responses both during the Shoah and afterward. She recounts oral testimonies from Holocaust survivors, cites references to the holiday in popular American culture, and analyzes examples of actual haggadot. Ultimately, Gubkin concludes that it \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e possible and important to make a space for Holocaust commemoration, all the time recognizing that haggadot must be constantly revisited and “performed.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gubkin, Liora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43574226550966,"sku":"9780813541945","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780813541945_22c7cca3-5fdb-436d-aa8e-17793a342f8e.jpg?v=1727259643","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/you-shall-tell-your-children","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
