Nachum had the pleasure of hosting renowned historian, author and lecturer Dr. Jeffrey Gurock on this morning’s JM in the AM to explore his latest fascinating publication entitled “The Holocaust Averted: An Alternate History of American Jewry, 1938-1967.” From the book’s Amazon page: “The increasingly popular genre of “alternative histories” has captivated audiences by asking questions like “what if the South had won the Civil War?” Such speculation can be instructive, heighten our interest in a topic, and shed light on accepted history. In The Holocaust Averted, Jeffrey Gurock imagines what might have happened to the Jewish community in the United States if the Holocaust had never occurred and forces readers to contemplate how the road to acceptance and empowerment for today’s American Jews could have been harder than it actually was.”
