This volume expands the intellectual exchange between researchers
working on the Holocaust and post-Holocaust life and North American
sociologists working on collective memory, diaspora,
transnationalism, and immigration. The collection is comprised of
two types of essays: primary research examining the Shoah and its
aftermath using the analytic tools prominent in recent sociological
scholarship, and commentaries on how that research contributes to
ongoing inquiries in sociology and related fields.Contributors
explore diasporic Jewish identities in the post-Holocaust years;
the use of sociohistorical analysis in studying the genocide;
immigration and transnationalism; and collective action, collective
guilt, and collective memory. In so doing, they illuminate various
facets of the Holocaust, and especially post-Holocaust, experience.
They investigate topics including heritage tours that take young
American Jews to Israel and Eastern Europe, the politics of memory
in Steven Spielberg's collection of Shoah testimonies, and the ways
that Jews who immigrated to the United States after the collapse of
the Soviet Union understood nationality, religion, and identity.
Contributors examine the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 in light of
collective action research and investigate the various ways that
the Holocaust has been imagined and recalled in Germany, Israel,
and the United States. Included in the commentaries about sociology
and Holocaust studies is an essay reflecting on how to study the
Holocaust (and other atrocities) ethically, without exploiting
violence and suffering. Contributors. Richard Alba, Caryn Aviv,
