The imaginary Jew =

Le juif imaginaire

by Alain Finkielkraut

Cover of The imaginary Jew =

The Holocaust changed what it means to be a jew, for Jew and non-Jew alike. Much of the discussion about the new meaning has been done by French writers of the left, but their work is a storm of contradictions. In the Imaginary Jew, Alain Finkielkraut describes with passion and acuity his own passage through that storm.
