Review Quote ("The evidence- from youth groups programs, to memorial ceremonies, from early (and admittedly failed) efforts to build monuments, to synagogue programs- is quite overwhelming. So resourcefully has Diner tracked down sermons and song lyrics, posters and programs, that this reviewer finds it hard to imagine any future historians continuing to perpetrate the claim that an explicit communal consciousness of the Holocaust did not really surface until the 1960s.")-(AJS),() Details ISBN081476634X Pages 320 Language English ISBN-10 081476634X ISBN-13 9780814766347 Media Book Format Paperback Year 1996 Imprint New York University Press Subtitle Subjects and Cultures of Fluid Desire Country of Publication United States Edited by Maria Pramaggiore Birth 1960 Author Donald E.
