The Last of the Just

This edition of "The Last of the Just" is a poignant exploration of the Jewish experience through the ages, culminating in the harrowing events of the Holocaust. The narrative follows the Levy family, believed to be among the Lamed Vav, the thirty-six righteous souls whose existence justifies the purpose of humankind to God. The story is both a historical chronicle and a deeply personal tale, capturing the enduring spirit and suffering of the Jewish people. The translation by Stephen Becker brings the original French text to life, maintaining its emotional depth and literary elegance.
