Reviews for Anxious Histories: Narrating the Holocaust in Jewish Communities at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century
[This book] addresses an extremely difficult and complex theme, one which (to my knowledge) has not been focused on in a sustained way before: the pedagogy of the Holocaust in Diaspora Jewish secondary schools, especially vis-a-vis Zionism. It contains fascinating material and much of the analysis is provocative and worthwhile.
