THE HOLOCAUST, Gerald Green - NOVEL: Gerald Green's novel Holocaust, which is based on his teleplay for the 1978 NBC miniseries, seeks to put faces on the events by telling the story of the experience of two German families whose lives intersect at certain points. The Dorfs are "good" Germans, loyal to the new Nazi regime, and their son Erik, a promising lawyer, finds his ambitions realized in the SS at the side of SS Reynard Heydrich. The Weiss family is Jewish, also seemingly "good" Germans, but doomed under the new regime.
