Trivializing the Holocaust is the last thing I want to do.

I'm obsessed with history, especially WWII and the Jews in Europe during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.

The Holocaust is a central event in many people's lives, but it also has become a metaphor for our century. There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it. Besides, in Israel, everyone carries a biography deep inside him.

It took me fifty years to deal with the Holocaust at all. And I did it in a literary way.

I've read pretty broadly on the Holocaust - both fiction and non-fiction - and to me, 'The Lost Wife' is one of the best. The horrors of war serve as a backdrop to a love affair that spans a lifetime, and that love story stayed with me long after I put down the book.

Indeed, the field of Holocaust studies is replete with nonsense if not sheer fraud.

I can't really remember a time in my life when I didn't know something about what we call the Holocaust. It was this dark topic that I would know more about when I got older, but which was spoken about in hushed tones.

The Holocaust remains unique in contemporary Jewish consciousness for its capacity to engender the most visceral grief and abject pain.

I find it very hard to write about Jewish history.
