The Holocaust in American Life

Book • 1999
In 'The Holocaust in American Life', Peter Novick examines why the Holocaust became a central moral reference point in American life.

He discusses how the Holocaust's significance evolved over time, influenced by events like the Eichmann trial and the construction of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.

Novick also critiques the ways in which the Holocaust has been used in American discourse, arguing that its preoccupation has not always been beneficial for American society or its Jewish minority.
