| Summary: | Arlene Stein, a child of Holocaust survivors, tells us that her book originated in a personal effort to make sense of her traumatic inheritance and a desire better to understand her survivor parents (particularly her father). However, its scope expanded to an exploration of how postwar cultural changes in America and the evolving position of American Jews affected Holocaust survivors, children of survivors, and the Holocaust-consciousness of society at large. Indeed, hundreds of articles, dissertations, books, and films focus on the psychological reverberations of the Holocaust for survivors and their children, and a goodly portion of Stein's book surveys this prodigious output. |
