Description
Summary:Over the past two or three decades, Israeli public discourse has been dominated by a number of historiographical debates. These controversies have become foundational questions in Israeli identity-formation and self-perception. The Holocaust stands at the heart of a number of these debates, with the question of the pre-state Yishuv's reaction to the destruction of European Jewry taking center stage. Israeli Society, the Holocaust and its Survivors brings together many of Dina Porat's contributions to this ongoing historiographical discussion.
