TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The Nation's response to the Holocaust JO - Holocaust studies A1 - Banin, Joe SP - 45 EP - 65 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - This article assesses the response of the liberal weekly journal, the Nation, to the Holocaust. It explores how and why the magazine, unlike almost all other American newspapers, did not underplay the crisis, but reported the tragedy sympathetically and criticized their own government's inaction. The existing historiography has been divided, often passionately so, on whether the US should be viewed as a 'bystander' to events. This study replaces policy-makers as the central focus and assesses the extent, and limits, of the American engagement with the existential challenge to European Jewry, as seen through the eyes of the Nation.
