The author is interested in the question (whether and) in which form God remained among the survivors after Auschwitz. The available ethnological material has shown that suffering during the Holocaust often resulted into abandoning the religion, and particularly in Judaism. Many survivors broke up their contacts with Jewry. They often decided to join the communist party (either due to their conviction or opportunism.) Our research has indicated that for the majority of the Slovak Jews, God after the Holocaust is rather an abstract concept or non existing. However, he is definitely not the biblical God of the Tora and micvot, to which our ancestors used to pray.}, language = {en} } @misc{ArnoldCostachieDallapiazzaetal.2010, author = {Arnold, Rafael and Costachie, Silviu and Dallapiazza, Michael and Denz, Rebekka and Feinberg, Anat and Gr{\"o}zinger, Elvira and Gr{\"o}zinger, Karl E. and Hiscott, William and Jegeb{\"a}ck, Per and Jurewicz, Grażyna and J{\"u}tte, Daniel and J{\"u}tte, Robert and Keidosiute, Elena and Knufinke, Ulrich and Lang, Stefan and Lisek, Joanna and Popescu, Diana I. and Radosav, Maria and R{\"u}dlin, Ingedore and Rutkowski, Anna and Salner, Peter and Szulc, Michał and Talabardon, Susanne and Visi, Tam{\´a}s and Wallach, Kerry}, title = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V. = Geographical Turn}, number = {16}, editor = {Denz, Rebekka and Jurewicz, Grażyna}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-055-7}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-42065}, year = {2010}, abstract = {PaRDeS.
