Diner shows the assumption of silence to be categorically false. Uncovering a rich and incredibly varied trove of remembrances--in song, literature, liturgy, public display, political activism, and hundreds of other forms--\u003ci\u003eWe Remember with Reverence and Love\u003c\/i\u003e shows that publicly memorializing those who died in the Holocaust arose from a deep and powerful element of Jewish life in postwar America. Not only does she marshal enough evidence to dismantle the idea of American Jewish \"forgetfulness,\" she brings to life the moving and manifold ways that this widely diverse group paid tribute to the tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDiner also offers a compelling new perspective on the 1960s and its potent legacy, by revealing how our typical understanding of the postwar years emerged from the cauldron of cultural divisions and campus battles a generation later. The student activists and \"new Jews\" of the 1960s who, in rebelling against the American Jewish world they had grown up in \"a world of remarkable affluence and broadening cultural possibilities\" created a flawed portrait of what their parents had, or rather, had not, done in the postwar years. This distorted legacy has been transformed by two generations of scholars, writers, rabbis, and Jewish community leaders into a taken-for-granted truth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHasia R.
