Explores how American Jewish post-Holocaust writers adapted pre-Holocaust works, such as Yiddish fiction and documentary photography, for popular consumption by American Jews in the post-Holocaust decades. The book argues these texts helped clarify the role of East European Jewish identity in the construction of a post-Holocaust American one.
