Description
The author's most significant book was the first to show the fundamental influence of the Holocaust on the identity, ideology, and politics of Israel. Based on diaries, interviews, and declassified documents, the author analyzes and reevaluates the role of political struggles and historical figures such as David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, and Nachum Goldmann, demonstrating that in critical historical moments - the Exodus 1947 affair, the trial of Adolf Eichmann, or the case of Nazi guard John Demjanjuk - the state of Israel ideologically manipulated the national legacy. The Seventh Million uncovers the enduring impact of these painful events on Israel's national historical experience. A groundbreaking work without which further discussions on the topic of the Holocaust would be incomplete.
