The lectures, delivered as the 1991 Radov lectures at Columbia University, deal with the relationship between literature and the Holocaust, and the phenomenon of self-hatred among European Jewish intellectuals, with reflections on theological and philosophical interpretations of the Holocaust. The second lecture appeared previously under the title "After the Holocaust" in "Writing and the Holocaust" (New York: Holmes & Meier, 1988). Appelfeld also describes his experiences as a child in the Transnistria camps, focusing on the psychology of the survivors. Pp. 59-80, "A Conversation with Philip Roth" (originally appeared in the "New York Times Book Review", 28 February 1988), include Appelfeld's remarks about his approach to the Holocaust period in his literary work. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
