"The United States and the Nazi Holocaust is an invaluable synthesis of United States
policies and attitudes towards the Nazi persecution of European Jewry from 1933 right
up to the modern day. The book, which includes 20 illustrations, weaves together a
vast body of scholarly literature to bring students of the Holocaust a balanced, readable
overview of this complex and often controversial topic. It demonstrates that the United
States' response to the rise of Nazism, the refugee crisis it provoked, the Holocaust
itself, and its aftermath were--and remain to this day--intricately linked to the
ever-shifting racial, economic, and social status of American Jewry. Using a broad
chronological framework, Barry Trachtenberg navigates us through the major themes
and events of this period. He discusses the complicated history of the Roosevelt administration's
response to the worsening situation of European Jewry in the context of the ambiguous
racial status of Jews in Depression and World War II-era America. He examines the
post-war decades in America, and discusses, over a series of chapters, how the Holocaust,
like American Jewry itself, came to move from the margins to the very center of American
awareness. The United States and the Nazi Holocaust considers the reception of Holocaust
survivors, post-war trials, film, memoirs, memorials, and the growing field of Holocaust
Studies. The reactions of the United States government, the general public, and the
Jewish communities of America are all accounted for in this integrated, detailed survey"
