Diverging from similar books, which begin with the Holocaust then move to the coloring that memory adds, the historians and literature scholars here focus primarily on the strategies of memory in relation to the Holocaust.

Wiesel himself provides an afterword. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
