"... [an] intriguing and compelling argument ... an impressive, scholarly and ambitious project of renaming, reoccupying, rewriting the socially constructed silences surrounding the Shoah experience ... [written in a] lucid, poetic, and accessible style." · Women's Studies Review "I found this book utterly compelling. It is a moving testmony that stands on the cusp of what could be a very different Israeli society in the future." · Nashim, A Journal of Jewish Women's Studies and Gender Issues "Offering a new and insightful perspective… an impressive, scholarly, and highly recommended contribution to Israeli and Judaic studies." · The Midwest Book Review "An important book ... that raises several political questions worthy of discussion ... Although the study was written from a sociological point of view, it also includes a wide and well documented discussion of the historiography on the Shoah and its changing role within Israel during the last few decades." · Gesher: Jewish Studies Journal "This book is the work of a brilliant and courageous scholar who dares to ask her own questions. Its narrative vision, born of ontological urgency is the product of a mature writer at home in her craft." · Ruth Linden
