| Summary: | In her latest monograph, Hasia Diner refutes the scholarly assumption that American Jewry largely ignored the Holocaust through the end of the 1950s.

During the five-year period following the murder of the six million, most American Jews, and Jews throughout the world, rallied to establish a Jewish state in Palestine and, to a much lesser extent, to find homes for the displaced persons who survived the war. |
