In 2009 she published We Remember With Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence after the Holocaust, 1945-1962. According to Adam Kirsch, the book "drive a stake, once and for all, through the heart of a historical falsehood that has proved remarkably durable. This is the notion that, as Diner?s subtitle has it, American Jews were initially ?silent? about the Holocaust?that the greatest catastrophe in Jewish history was somehow swept under the rug of American Jewry?s collective consciousness."
