Bridge Across Broken Time: Chinese and Jewish Cultural Memory
Synopsis
The daughter of Holocaust survivors, China scholar Vera Schwarcz explores the meaning of cultural memory in the vastly different Chinese and Jewish traditions. She finds a bridge between the two civilizations-a shared commitment to the transmission of remembrance and to witnessing to the significance of the past-and brings to life the struggles of Chinese and Jewish survivors who managed to preserve the continuity of their long traditions.
