Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book describes the social and cultural challenges posed by the Holocaust from the subjective angle of those who attempted to maintain unquestioning fealty to the universalistic American Jewish Reform belief in integration even in view of the disheartening realities of the 1930's and the 1940's. |
