Bridge Across Broken Time: Chinese and Jewish Cultural Memory

Bridge Across Broken Time: Chinese and Jewish Cultural Memory by Schwarcz, Vera. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300066142.

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.
