Description
Lipman shows how humor manifested itself among the Jews of Europe during WWII-in jokes, art, poetry, and cabaret routines-despite political attempts to suppress it. And he observes the surprising nature of this humor, which, far from being bitter 'gallows' humor, was defiant, almost smug. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Tags
