description A review essay on books by (1) Peter Novick, The Holocaust in American Life (New York: Houghton & Mifflin, 1999); (2) Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering (New York: Verso, 2000); & (3) Mark Chmiel, Elie Wiesel and the Politics of Moral Leadership (Philadelphia: Temple U Press, 2001). These books deal with various aspects of the Holocaust. Novick's text is argued to have no equal as a history of the event. It offers a comprehensive & intelligent account of the expansion of consciousness about the Holocaust, & the quality of its information is lauded. Finkelstein provides a brief but important addition to the body of literature on the Holocaust, in which he criticizes Novick's book for its lack of radical critique & discusses information that Novick omitted while addressing the Holocaust industry. Chmiel presents a case study of the political aspects of Holocaust memory via a challenge of Elie Wiesel's one-sided politics. J. W. Stanton
