Since its first year in 1993; the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has attracted more than 15 millino visitors; sometimes at the rate of 10;000 a day; each of whom has walked away with an indelible impression of awe in the face of the unimaginable. This lively; honest; behind-the-scenes account details the emotionally complex fifteen-year struggle surrounding the museum's birth.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Critical examination and analysis of the WAC program.By Denise E.Great book on the gender; political and sexual issues that came along with forming the Women's Army Corps during WWII. The book's biggest strength is that it's an interesting companion to the official Army history of the WAC program and often presents a contrarian viewpoint to the military's public response. It's also one of the few books that addresses sexuality in the WAC ranks.Creating G.I. Jane explores the climate and response to women in the military as well as problems related to integrating women for the first time. Because it does delve into propaganda and underlying motives as well as controversial subjects; there is some concern that the book primarily functions as a gender study and may not fully represent the program's norms. This doesn't diminish the book; but it does mean that it's not a complete history of women in the military during WWII. For that reason; while it's a very strong stand-alone book; I highly recommend reading it in conjunction with other books on the WAC for a better total picture of the program.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
