David Roskies; in one hundred powerful selections; presents the two-thousand year history of Jewish responses to castastrophe. The cyclical nature of violent regimes and their overthrow is delineated in these recurring images of sin; martyrdom; and retribution that have sustained the Jewish people despite pogroms; massacres; and expulsions -- from the destruction of the First Temple through the Holocaust to the eventual return to their homeland.
