In this__Book__ (book/article, etc.), _William B. Henreich_ (author)   _explains_(claims/argues/explains) that _the people that survived the holocaust are making lives for themselves today.__ (identify author’s argument/purpose).
One reason/fact/example that supports this main idea is _Tom Lantos became a US Congress man and is know to many people today. Another reason/fact/example that supports this main idea is Eva Ebin became a phychologist and lives in Long Island.
