O knihe

THE WIND STILL MOURNS is the culmination of David Heller's reflections

on the Holocaust, first studied as an adult while completing his honors

thesis at Harvard. With this compendium of poetry,Dr. Heller brings a survivor-

child's heartfelt emotions along with his scholarly perceptions

to capture the agony and horror of man's inhumanity. At the same

time, he expounds on the infinite lingering questions of faith and doubt that

follow the Holocaust, as well as the very nature of mankind. Among the topics

that his poems address are the following: his father's harrowing experiences

and losses, the anatomy of evil, the contempt of "the other", fascism,

the world's indifference and passivity, the mixed nature of life, the importance

of remembrance, making sense of the senseless, the question of justice,

modern versions of Nazism, the struggle over faith, and the unique life journey

for a descendant of the Holocaust legacy. These selections are as moving

as they are thought-provoking, as relevant today as they were in the last

barbarous century.
