Ronit Lentin discusses "House of Dolls" in her work "Israel and the Daughters of the Shoah". In her book Lentin interviews a child of Holocaust survivors, who recalls "House of Dolls" as one of her first exposures to the Holocaust. Lentin notes that the "explicit, painful" story made a huge impact when published and states that "many children of holocaust survivors who write would agree . . . that "House of Dolls" represents violence and sexuality in a manner which borders on the pornographic".
