Resumo: The decade of 1990's gave us a multi-angular vision of the Second World War. The motion pictures have shown us strong scenes and denunciated to the audience the greatest ever sample of barbarism committed by men's rage. The massacre suffered by the Jews has become a fact known almost universally, although many people do not understand rightly the motivations for such crime, and not even know who really the Jews are. The present work aims to enlighten the peculiarities of the Jewish people, considering the influence of the post-Second World War period on the construction of the Jewish cultural identity today. After understanding the elements, which are fundamental for the Jewish identity, an analysis will be developed focusing on the relevance of the Jewish cultural memory for the construction of the main character in the novel Everything is illuminated, by Jonathan Safran Foer. As theoretical basis, this work is reasoned upon studies of Jonathan Sacks (2002) about Jewish culture, and also upon considerations by Stuart Hall (2006).

As theoretical basis, this work is reasoned upon studies of Jonathan Sacks (2002) about Jewish culture, and also upon considerations by Stuart Hall (2006). A década de 1990 proporcionou uma visão multiangular da Segunda Guerra Mundial. O cinema trouxe cenas fortes e denunciou para as platéias a maior amostra de barbárie já cometida pelo furor do homem. O massacre sofrido pelos  judeus tornou-­se fato conhecido quase universalmente,embora muitas pessoas não entendam direito as motivações de tal crime, nem saibam realmente quem são os judeus. O presente artigo tem por intuito esclarecer as peculiaridades do povo judeu, refletindo acerca da influência do período pós Segunda Guerra para a construção da identidade cultural judaica atual. Após analisar os elementos nos quais se fundamenta a identidade judaica, será feita uma leitura da importância da memória cultural judaica para a construção do personagem central do romance Tudo se ilumina, de Jonathan Safran Foer.
