Book Synopsis
How and when did the Holocaust come to loom so large in postwar Jewish and American and international life? This book sets out to answer this question. It also asks whether defining Jewishness in terms of victimhood alone does not hand Hitler a posthumous victory.

Trade Review
'It should be required reading for all those who believe that the memorialising of the Holocaust is because its memory is only now surfacing amongst the survivors' IRISH TIMES 'Eloquently angry, at times bitterly funny, but scrupulously researched book' SCOTSMAN 'In this powerful and provocative book, Peter Novick offers a fascinating analysis of the shifting ways in which the Holocaust has been perceived by the American-Jewish world. It deserves the widest possible readership' JEWISH CHRONICLE
