...HOLOCAUST, by Nora Levin. WHILE SIX MILLION DIED, by Arthur D. Morse. By documenting the acts of indifference against European Jewry during World War II, both authors challenge Hannah Arendt's explosive argument that the Final Solution succeeded with the acquiescence of its victims...
...Nixon has been arguing all along that his own itinerary to the nomination-via the primaries-must be followed by all the other hopefuls. Last week he challenged Rockefeller's argument that full-scale primary battles would sunder the party. For one thing, he said, a high-minded campaign such as his own would not injure the Republicans but merely add a second barrel to the anti-Democratic gun.

...Help? To begin with, the authors tackle the often-heard argument that the war is wholly civil because North and South Viet Nam are actually one state.

And there was no dearth of angry disagreement. These two books are the latest in a still-growing list that challenges the Arendt argument. In The Holocaust, Philadelphia-based Historian Nora Levin maintains that the Jews "resisted physically much more than is generally known, and under conditions that are scarcely credible." In While Six Million Died, Brooklyn-born Journalist Arthur Morse insists that any Jewish acquiescence was insignificant when measured against the apathy...
