- Abstract
Although the Holocaust has become one of the most important public issues in American society, in the 1950s, the Holocaust had no resonance in the United States. An exploration of the renowned text “The Diary of a Young Girl” and its adaptations from that era exposes the suppression of Holocaust awareness, primarily attributed to a convergence of factors such as post-war optimism, prevailing anti-Semitic sentiments, and the censorship climate during the Cold War.
