Robert Gordon, Regius Professor of Hebrew, University of Cambridge
Gordon looks at an array of different responses to the Holocaust—in books, films, popular science, and the work of survivors such as Imre Kertesz and Primo Levi—to make sense of the strange and compelling role played by luck in our understanding of this most appalling of historical events.
