The Shadow and the Flame is the sweeping and definitive history of the fight for Holocaust memory and the larger intellectual debates that raged around its memorial from the end of World War II to the present day.

In 1945, the end of World War II and the liberation of the Nazi camps ended the catastrophe that we now know as the Holocaust. Stunned by grief, survivors faced the task of not only forging new lives but also shaping how this cataclysm might be remembered by generations to come.

The Shadow and the Flame takes as its subject the fierce intellectual battle that ensued – the first of its kind, and one that spanned decades and continents. Acclaimed historian James McAuley takes us into the minds and hearts of the individuals – many well-known, others largely forgotten – who waged that dispute in Europe, the United States, and Israel: from Hannah Arendt, whose reporting from the Eichmann trial enraged her fellow Jews; to Salo Baron, the era’s preeminent Jewish historian who battled to protect the story of his people from the burden of tragedy; to Elie Wiesel, whose account of life at Auschwitz became the one the world chose to embrace, even as it alienated many of his peers.

McAuley transports us from Paris to New York, from the desecrated ghettos of Poland to the newly established state of Israel, as the event we now call the Holocaust made an uneasy transition into memory – one that, far from being neatly resolved, weighs heavily upon the present. Bold, learned, monumental in its scope and infused with the energy and emotion of its principals, The Shadow and the Flames tells the dramatic account of the contentious process – at once painful and shot through with urgency and consequence – of crafting history in real time.

批評家のレビュー

This is a gripping account of the battles of small groups of survivors to shape the memory of the Holocaust. McAuley takes a vast historical theme and tells it as a story of fully drawn individuals. Moving, compelling, relevant to our times, and beautifully written (Simon Kuper)
In sensitively and accurately depicting the multi-faceted identities, complex personalities, and diverse voices of the men and women who first set out to chronicle the perpetration of the Hitlerian 'Final Solution of the Jewish Question,' James McAuley has successfully brought to life the critically important origins of the historiography of the Holocaust. At a time when the persecution, oppression, suffering and systematic genocide of European Jewry during World War II is far too often exploited and relativized, The Shadow and the Flame is certain to become required reading and an essential resource for scholars, theologians and students of history alike who seek to understand the purpose and significance of recording, preserving and perpetuating anguished and agonized memory (Menachem Rosensaft)
James McAuley has written an extraordinary book—one that I didn’t know could be written. The Shadow and the Flame is profoundly moving in its navigation of how the meaning of the Holocaust has been memorialized. It is essential reading (Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare With Amber Eyes)
In the decades after 1945, survivors, scholars, and writers in Europe, America, and Israel debated the story of the slaughter of the European Jews — what to call it, how to record it, who had the standing to speak about it. The Shadow and the Flame tells the story of that debate, and reminds us that the creation of public memory is never accidental, and never permanent. James McAuley reminds us that individual choices helped shape what we remember, and will continue to define how we interpret the past (Anne Applebaum, author of Autocracy Inc)
At a time of surging antisemitism, this powerful book studies how Jewish thinkers memorialized the systematic extermination committed by Nazi Germany and its European collaborators. This challenging and insightful book grapples with the unmasterable legacy of the genocide of six million Jews while upholding the dignity of Jewish experience (Gary Bass, author of Judgment at Tokyo)
A stunning, harrowing and deeply humane book. The Shadow and the Flame is an impeccably researched account of the men and women who first set out to record the Holocaust, bearing witness while laying the foundations of how the world would remember. In telling their stories, McAuley offers a poignant look at how memory is claimed and shaped, and at what is lost when remembrance becomes doctrine. Essential and timely (Clarissa Ward, author of On All Fronts)
