What People are Saying About This
"To the often angry polemics on the place of the Holocaust in contemporary life, John Roth's splendid new book brings a calm voice of reason: highly principled yet respectful in tone, clear-eyed yet open to alternate visions, deeply seasoned yet remarkably well-informed and up-to-date."
Michael R. Marrus, Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies, University of Toronto
"Holocaust politics are a central but oft ignored facet of the Holocaust's legacy. A veteran of some political battles himself, Roth courageously addresses the implications of this topic. He has written a book that is both compassionate and profound."
Victoria J. Barnett, Director, Programs on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
"Drawing on his authoritative knowledge and his own experiences with the best and worst of Holocaust politics, John Roth has written a singularly important book concerning the politics of preserving the memory of the Holocaust at a time when few survivors remain among us. This is an indispensable book for all those, both Jewish and Christian, who seek to understand the Holocaust's complex legacy."
Richard L. Rubenstein, President Emeritus, Distinguished Professor of Religion,
University of Bridgeport
