The abuse of holocaust Memory: distorsions and responses
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs
Anti-Defamation League

Written with exemplary tenacity and courage, this volume's urgency is proven by its resolve to unmask and denounce the nefarious ugliness of Holocaust abuse and denial. The author, chairman of the Board of Fellows of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, offers a much needed study of the myriad of ways in which the memory of the genocide of the Jews during World War II is being manipulated and distorted in modern discourse. This volume demonstrates that words do matter, and especially language and symbolism surrounding the Holocaust, today's embodiment of supreme evil. Also included are case studies that analyze Holocaust distortion in several European countries and the Muslim world.
