More DescriptionSpeaking from their respective disciplines in the humanities, theology, and education, thirteen Holocaust scholars -- both Jewish and Christian -- candidly address the challenges, risks, and possibilities embedded in the discouraging, long-lasting Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Anguished Hope casts a powerful vision for a more peaceful future in the Middle East.
