Summary
Alain Finkielkraut: The Imaginary Jew
The book "The Imaginary Jew" (Le Juif imaginaire), written by the French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, deals with the questioning of Jewish identity in Europe after World War II. In the book, Finkielkraut analyzes the generation of Jews (including himself) born after the Holocaust who build their identity on the suffering of their ancestors, even though they themselves did not directly experience persecution or anti-Semitism in this form.
