Begins with the dichotomy of perceptions of the Shoah between Jewish fighters and ordinary "survivors" in postwar Displaced Persons camps. Traces the initial silence of survivors and intellectuals, Israel's politicisation of collective memory, the 1961 Eichmann trial as thew turning point in viewing victims as heroic rather than passive and the shift since to a post-Zionist "non-conformist" perspective
