Young has written an exhaustive work, analyzing the many forms in which the Holocuast has been dealt with ...

No one has clarified so well the 'texture of memory'." --Geoffrey Hartman " ... a fascinating study... thought provoking and elegantly written ... " --Holocaust and Genocide Studies "A brilliant performance." --The Book Reader " ... meticulously crafted and documented ... far outranks the multitude of new titles on Holocaust topics." --Choice
