Abstract

This article explores the meaning of the notion of'creation' in the Jewish tradition of the 20thcentury - both in regard to God as creator and the human being as creature. With reference to Franz Rosen- zweig, Margarete Susman and Hans Jonas, the first part of the article focuses on the question of whether God, after Auschwitz, can still be understood as an omnipotent and righteous creator of the All, while the second part investigates the human condition as described by Hannah Arendt and Emmanuel Levinas: what does it mean to be created as or in the image of God? In particular, creaturely freedom and responsibility, natality and creativity are highlighted and discussed in the context of post-Holocaust theology.
