This section explores how the experience of racial prejudice and radical evil prompts a re-evaluation of the traditional forms of religious faith. These seven weeks are devoted to three texts: Joy Kogawa's novel Obasan, about the relocation of Japanese Canadians during World War II; classic memoir of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel's Night; and, Philip P. Hallie's account of "how goodness happened" in the village of Le Chambon, Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed.
