The article focuses on the book "The Holocaust in American Life," by Peter Novick. The book describes how "the Holocaust," a singular event, barely existed in. Jewish consciousness or anybody else's at the end of World War II and for many years afterward. American Jews had learned by 1945 about the fate of "the 6 million." But for Jews and non-Jews alike, it was the overall course of the war and the deaths of 50 million people that were the dominant facts. Jew's understood themselves to be one group among many that suffered immense and heartbreaking losses.
