American Jews and the Myth of Silence

How did the American Jewish community memorialize those who died in the Holocaust after World War II? We’ll spend this hour with Hasia R. Diner, the Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History and Director of the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History at NYU. Her new book is “We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence after the Holocaust, 1945-1962” (NYU Press, 2009).
