Description for Bitter Reckoning: Israel Tries Holocaust Survivors as Nazi Collaborators
Review �The largely forgotten history of these trials has pivotal importance for our changing sense of what it meant to be a Jew during the Holocaust, as Dan Porat makes clear in his insightful, eloquently written new book.�?David Mikics, The Tablet�In this revelatory and at times astonishing book, the historian Dan Porat analyses the hitherto inaccessible transcripts of 40 kapo trials that were held in Israel over the course of two decades�And yet, 40 years later, only the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, chief Nazi architect of the Final Solution, is ever discussed. Bitter Reckoning interrogates this cultural amnesia and asks why it is that Israel no longer calls to account the actions of Jewish functionaries within the camps.�?Giulia Miller, Times Higher Education�Masterful�The real beauty of this book is how Israeli society gradually came to different conclusions as to the guilt or complicity of those standing trial, choosing, ultimately, not to stand-in judgment over men and women in impossible situations�An essential guide to understanding the torments of the young state of Israel and, in the process, adds to our sum of knowledge about the Holocaust.�?Jenni Frazer, Jewish Chronicle�Porat�s writing is smooth and deliberate, delivered with integrity. His analysis of prosecutor and judicial motivations, especially within the trial records kept by judges and justices, is masterful�The extensive research by Porat lends considerable weight to why the Israeli criminal justice system was a poor choice as a vehicle of justice in this circumstance.�?Charles S. Weinblatt, New York Journal of Books�Gripping�Porat puts these trials into a broader framework, analyzing the changes in Israeli attitudes to Shoah survivors over the years.�?Martin Lockshin, Canadian Jewish News�A superb, meticulously researched work of historical empathy. The fullest, most intelligent exploration I�ve read of what Primo Levi termed �the gray zone,� and the improbability of moral, let alone legal, clarity for those found to have been inside of it.�?Steven J. Zipperstein, author of Pogrom�In this riveting book Dan Porat offers a new and stunning perspective on Israel's tormented encounter with the legacy of the Holocaust and some of its survivors. It is not necessary to share Porat's opinions in order to respect his intellectual integrity, compassion, and masterly writing.�?Tom Segev, author of A State at Any Cost�Porat�s account of Israel�s kapo trials offers the first general history of these largely forgotten proceedings. He offers a persuasive, well-researched, and cogent history of the trials, situated in the context of postwar Jewish and Israeli life.�?Devin Pendas, author of The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial, 1963�1965�Skillfully weaving together courtroom drama with the politics, press, and public opinion of the time, Porat takes us to the gray area between perpetrator and victim and leaves us with a wealth of knowledge, important insights, and much to think about.�?Joshua Schoffman, former Deputy Attorney General, Israeli Ministry of Justice�A fascinating account of an important episode in Israeli history and post-Holocaust justice. Porat provides a lucid and well-documented reconstruction and analysis of the political arguments and evolution of judicial practice over three decades.�?Omer Bartov, author of Anatomy of a Genocide Read more About the Author Dan Porat is the author of The Boy: A Holocaust Story, which the New York Times called �a gripping, harrowing Holocaust story� and Elie Wiesel praised as �a poignant and riveting investigation.� Porat is a teacher and researcher at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
