Reluctant Witnesses tells the story of the rise of Holocaust consciousness in the United States from the perspective of survivors and their descendants. If survivors tended to see Holocaust storytelling as mainly a private affair, their children -- who reached adulthood during the heyday of identity politics -- reclaimed their hidden family histories and transformed them into public stories.
