GRGR Holocaust

[Keith McMullen]

If someone who knew nothing of The Holocaust read GR, they would still 
know NOTHING of what was done to the Jews.

This does not mean that the novel does not address the issue.

This does not mean one is a Holocaust denier by pointing out this fact.

It does raise very interesting and important questions about why 
Pynchon decided to deal with the Holocaust the way he does.

If you have any doubts about the fact that Pynchon is NOT dealing 
directly with the historical information, that he is presenting it 
solely by indirect literary methods. Try and cite anything in the 
entire novel which would educate someone who found the novel on a 
desert island about anything specific about the treatment of the Jews.
