Drawing primarily on national debates reflected in public discourse, Wolf traces the evolution of French postwar Holocaust consciousness. Also analyzes how diverse groups have appropriated the Holocaust as a metaphor for their sociopolitical agendas, disconnected from the trauma of the Jewish experience and Franc's role in it
