Abstract:
Discusses reactions to the Holocaust of the Jewish Reform movement in the U.S., noting that Reform leaders focused on the universality of the Holocaust even during World War II, and preferred to ignore specific Jewish suffering both during and after the war. In November 1945 the Reform movement held a conference in New York for "justice and peace", at which the non-Jewish speakers often referred to the Holocaust, but the Reform rabbis did not. The movement also ignored the Holocaust in its curricula for Jewish studies and held no commemorative events for the Jews killed in Europe, preferring to focus on the future of the Jews in the U.S., where they felt such a thing as the Holocaust could not happen.
