Exploring issues such as how we understand the soul, the use of torture, and the prevalence of hunger, this book argues that one means of preventing genocide is to think concretely about our flesh-and-blood relations to fellow human beings. It also shows how Jewish thought promotes ways of thinking that may preclude genocide.
