Rabinowitz detects a breathtaking history of loss and mourning, of illegal claims and desires, of appropriation and incorporation that expresses the rupture of the Holocaust and the contested visions of Jewish life after catastrophe. --Elisabeth Gallas, author of A Mortuary of Books: Rescue of Jewish Culture after the Holocaust Rabinowitz has done a brilliant job in his moving and important book. . . . He vividly portrays the restoration of the books of the Strashun Library, a testimony to the indomitable Jewish spirit. --Ambassador Stuart E. Eizenstat, author of Imperfect Justice: Looted Assets, Slave Labor, and the Unfinished Business of World War II
