  Immediately after World War II, there was little discussion of the Holocaust, but today the word has grown into a potent political and moral symbol, recognized by all. Deborah E. Lipstadt explores this striking evolution, revealing how a broad array of Americans tried to make sense of this inexplicable disaster, and how they came to use the Holocaust as a lens to interpret their own history.
