The first comprehensive volume to teach about America's response to
the Holocaust through visual media, America and the Holocaust: A
Documentary History explores the complex subject through the lens
of one hundred important documents that help illuminate and amplify
key episodes and issues. Each chapter pivots on five key documents:
two in image form and three in text form. Individual introductions
that contextualize the documents are followed by explanatory text,
analysis of historical implications, and suggestions for further
reading. A concluding state-of-the-field essay documents how
scholars have arrived at the presented information. A complementary
teacher's guide with questions for discussion is available online.
The twenty chapters address a broad range of subjects and events,
among them America's response to Hitler's rise, U.S. public opinion
about Jews, immigration policy, the Wagner-Rogers bill to save
children, American rescuers, news coverage of atrocities, American
Jewish and Christian responses to the Holocaust, the campaign for
U.S. rescue action, the question of bombing Auschwitz, and
liberation. Viewing real documents as a means to understanding core
issues will deepen reader involvement with this material. High
school and college students as well as general readers of all
levels of knowledge will be engaged in understanding this crucial
chapter in American history and weighing questions regarding mass
atrocities in our own era.
