A Ray of Light From a Black Hole

URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/twelvetwelve/item/a_ray_of_light_from_a_black_hole_39100203

When I reviewed Ronald Florence’s impressive and important book, “Emissary of the Emissary of the Doomed," which focuses on a forgotten hero of the Holocaust named Joel Brand, I mentioned in passing the exploits of a man named Reszo Kasztner. At least one careful reader with firsthand knowledge of those exploits noticed that I had oversimplified my description of the so-called Kasztner affair, and he kindly brought it my attention. I hasten to clarify my review. At the same time, the moral burden of Jewish history obliges us not merely to remember the Holocaust but also to extract some measure of meaning from the grim historical record.
