Books by David Patterson

Describes why Jews must live - but especially think - in a way that is distinctly Jewish. This book aims to make possible a religious response to the Holocaust.

The Holocaust continues to leave survivors and their descendants, as well as historians, philosophers, and theologians, searching for words to convey the enormity of that event. This title identifies three such 'after-words': forgiveness, reconciliation, and justice. These words, though forever altered by the Holocaust, are still spoken and heard.

Based on more than fifty diaries of Holocaust victims of all ages, written while the events described were taking place. This book illuminates the spiritual and physical devastation experienced by European Jewry during the Holocaust, showing how Jews chose life and the spirit of life in the midst of the inferno.
