Letters

Numb with Shock Having just finished reading James Bacque's book, Crimes and Mercies, I am numb with shock.

So much for my English heritage of fairness – of “playing cricket” by the…

Holocaust as Political Industry

Peter Novick [author of the new book, The Holocaust in American Life] asserts that the Holocaust has desensitized us to other genocides, but stops short of asking who invented the Holocaust in the first place.
