Routledge - After the Holocaust: Challenging the Myth of Silence

Explore a new perspective on postwar history with After the Holocaust: Challenging the Myth of Silence. Published by Routledge, this book addresses the long-standing scholarly debate regarding how the Holocaust was discussed in the years following the war. For years, a common idea suggested that the event was not spoken about until the 1970s, but this collection of original scholarship provides evidence that challenges that narrative. This work offers an international approach to understanding the postwar era. It examines the ways in which Jewish life was lived amidst a shared awareness of the past. By exposing a serious misreading of history, this book provides a foundation for a reassessment of Jewish experiences in the decades following the war. It is an essential read for students, historians, and anyone interested in the complex realities of European history and the social impact of the Holocaust on postwar society.
