Zusammenfassung:
'Reluctant Witnesses' mixes history, memoir, and sociological analysis to tell the story of the rise of Holocaust consciousness in the United States from the perspective of survivors and their descendants. The public reckoning with the destruction of European Jewry, the book argues, was due to more than simply the passage of time. It took the coming of age of the 'second generation' - who reached adulthood during the rise of feminism, the ethnic revival, and therapeutic culture - for survivors' families to reclaim their hidden histories.
