James Bernauer’s Jesuit Kaddish about Jews and Jesuits in the shadow of the Holocaust is not a work of ordinary secular history. It is grounded in two distinctly Jesuit spiritual practices. This essay grapples with how to translate so avowedly Jesuit an account into a more universal one. It uses this work to think about how one might use its insights to think in more secular terms about the great wrong that haunts America: the legacy of racism. Finally, it understands Bernauer’s book as insisting that we reflect on broader questions: of complicity, of obligations to repair the wounds of the past, of responsibility. A book devoted to Jesuit versions of these sorts of issues invites a more general consideration. The contrast between a more secular and a Jesuit account of all these matters is refracted in part through the author’s personal relationship to the Holocaust.

耶稣会卡迪什和我

詹姆斯·伯纳 (James Bernauer) 的耶稣会士卡迪什 (Jesuit Kaddish) 讲述了大屠杀阴影下的犹太人和耶稣会士,这不是一部普通的世俗历史作品。它基于两种截然不同的耶稣会精神实践。这篇文章努力解决如何将如此公开的耶稣会解释转换为更普遍的解释。它使用这项工作来思考人们如何利用其见解从更世俗的角度思考困扰美国的巨大错误:种族主义的遗产。最后,它将贝尔瑙尔的书理解为坚持让我们反思更广泛的问题:同谋、修复过去创伤的义务、责任。一本专门讨论此类问题的耶稣会版本的书引起了更广泛的考虑。
