The Holocaust : history and memory / by Black, Jeremy,1955-;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Until Barbarossa -- Toward genocide -- Genocide -- Germany's allies -- Memorialization -- The Holocaust and today."Brilliant and wrenching, The Holocaust: History and Memory tells the story of the brutal mass slaughter of Jews during World War II and how that genocide has been remembered and misremembered ever since. Taking issue with generations of scholars who separate the Holocaust from Germany's military ambitions, historian Jeremy M. Black demonstrates persuasively that Germany's war on the Allies was entwined with Hitler's war on Jews. As more and more territory came under Hitler's control, the extermination of Jews became a major war aim, particularly in the east, where many died and whole Jewish communities were exterminated in mass shootings carried out by the German army and collaborators long before the extermination camps were built. Rommel's attack on Egypt was a stepping stone to a larger goal--the annihilation of 400,000 Jews living in Palestine. After Pearl Harbor, Hitler saw America's initial focus on war with Germany rather than Japan as evidence of influential Jewish interests in American policy, thus justifying and escalating his war with Jewry through the Final Solution. And the German public knew. In chilling detail, Black unveils compelling evidence that many everyday Germans must have been aware of the genocide around them. In the final chapter, he incisively explains the various ways that the Holocaust has been remembered, downplayed, and even dismissed as it slips from horrific experience into collective consciousness and memory. Essential, concise, and highly readable, The Holocaust: History and Memory bears witness to those forever silenced and ensures that we will never forget their horrifying fate."--Publisher's description.

The Holocaust in American life / by Novick, Peter,1934-2012.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-352) and index.We knew in a general way -- If our brothers had shown more compassion -- The abandonment of the Jews -- The DP camps have served their historic purpose -- That is past and we must deal with the facts today -- Not in the best interests of Jewry -- Self-hating Jewess writes pro-Eichmann series -- A bill submitted for "sufferings rendered" -- Would they hide my children? -- To bigotry no sanction -- Never again the slaughter of the Albigensians -- We are not equipped to answer.Historian Peter Novick illuminates the reasons Americans ignored the Holocaust for so long--how dwelling on German crimes interfered with Cold War mobilization; how American Jews, not wanting to be thought of as victims, avoided the subject. He explores the decisions that later moved the Holocaust to the center of American life: Jewish leaders invoking its memory to muster support for Israel and to come out on top in a sordid competition over what group had suffered most; politicians using it to score points with Jewish voters. Novick raises questions about these developments. Have American Jews, by making the Holocaust the emblematic Jewish experience, given Hitler a posthumous victory, tacitly endorsing his definition of Jews as despised pariahs? Does the Holocaust really teach useful lessons and sensitize us to atrocities, or, by making the Holocaust the measure, does it make lesser crimes seem "not so bad"? What are we to make of the fact that while Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars for museums recording a European crime, there is no museum of American slavery? --From publisher's description.
