While America Watches
Televising the Holocaust
(Author) Jeffrey Shandler"In America, where mediations have always provided most people with their primary encounter with the Holocaust, television has helped transform watching into the morally charged act of "witnessing" the Holocaust. By tracing the course of Holocaust television over the past half century, While America Watches reveals how Americans have come to embrace this subject as a model for responding to other moral crises, from domestic racial strife to "ethnic cleansing" operations in Bosnia."--BOOK JACKET.
