Flanzbaum investigates why some books about the Holocaust become bestsellers and what their status says about the cultural reception of the Holocaust at that time. The novel "Schindler's list" and the memoir "The pianist" became bestsellers only after their appearance in movies. There are 2 examples of best selling literature without any movie or TV version: Elie Wiesel's "Night" and Irene Neminovsky's "Suite Francaise".
