("The Voice of My Blood Cries Out" reviews the major poets...)
"The Voice of My Blood Cries Out" reviews the major poets of the Holocaust who wrote exclusively in Hebrew. It explores the major themes of their work, including the shock of the immediate postwar period, the lamentations of Jewish mothers for their lost children, and the profound spiritual turmoil of the survivors. It is a collection of Hebrew poetry that is drawn from the core of a soul-rending outcry in the wake of the Nazi horror. Included is an extensive list of all authors and works discussed in the book.
