"The Seventh Million" is the first book to show the decisive impact
of the Holocaust on the identity, ideology, and politics of Israel.
Drawing on diaries, interviews, and thousands of declassified
documents, Segev reconsiders the major struggles and personalities
of Israel's past, including Ben-Gurion, Begin, and Nahum Goldmann,
and argues that the nation's legacy has, at critical moments--the
"Exodus "affair, the Eichmann trial, the case of John
Demjanjuk--have been molded and manipulated in accordance with the
ideological requirements of the state. "The Seventh Million"
uncovers a vast and complex story and reveals how the bitter events
of decades past continue to shape the experiences not just of
individuals but of a nation. Translated by Haim Watzman.
