| Summary: | Yosef Gorny's new book on Jewish press response to the Holocaust is an important addition to the literature. First, Gorny's comparative approach illuminates how widely and compassionately the Holocaust was reported in Jewish newspapers in Mandatory Palestine, Britain, the U.S., and the USSR: “The press … reported what was being done to the Jews in occupied countries almost each and every day: lootings and murders, ghettoization, starvation of the ghetto populations, mortality rates, massacres in the Nazi-occupied western reaches of the Soviet Union and the Germans' intention of making Europe judenrein” (p. 269). |
