À propos de cet audio
The events of World War II and its immediate aftermath had significant influence on American Jewish political identity. In the wake of the Holocaust, and as the extent of the destruction continued to be revealed, many Jewish Americans took it upon themselves on both local and national levels to tell the story of what happened, advocate for the victims, and lobby for changes to international law to try and prevent future atrocities. Through political activism, literature, liturgy, and more, individuals such as Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-born lawyer who served on the legal team of Chief U.S. Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunal Robert H. Jackson and himself a survivor, spent the years following World War II seeking justice and remembrance for those who were lost. Narrated by Rebecca Naomi Jones and featuring Hasia Diner, author of We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence After the Holocaust.
