In this compelling work, Hasia R. Diner shows the assumption of silence to be categorically false. Uncovering a rich and incredibly varied trove of remembrances?in song, literature, liturgy, public display, political activism, and hundreds of other forms?We Remember with Reverence and Love shows that publicly memorializing those who died in the Holocaust arose from a deep and powerful element of Jewish life in postwar America. Not only does she marshal enough evidence to dismantle the idea of American Jewish ?forgetfulness,? she brings to life the moving and manifold ways that this widely diverse group paid tribute to the tragedy. Diner also offers a compelling new perspective on the 1960's and its potent legacy, by revealing how our typical understanding of the postwar years emerged from the cauldron of cultural divisions and campus battles a generation later. The student activists and ?new Jews? of the 1960's who, in rebelling against the American Jewish world they had grown up in ?a world of remarkable affluence and broadening cultural possibilities? created a flawed portrait of what their parents had, or rather, had not, done in the postwar years. This distorted legacy has been transformed by two generations of scholars, writers, rabbis, and Jewish community leaders into a taken-for-granted truth. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPublic opinion 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aJews$xAttitudes. 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a940.53/1814 700 $aDiner$b Hasia R$0458823 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821743703321 996 $aWe remember with reverence and love$94084321 997 $aUNINA
