Reviews for Holocaust Survivors
“This is a well-conceived volume that addresses a significant problem in the history of the Jews in the twentieth century - how survivors of the Holocaust resettled in many parts of the world, rebuilt (or failed to rebuild) their personal lives, and contributed (or did not contribute) to the development of Jewish communities and cultures in their new countries of residence. It is unique in both its interdisciplinary character and geographical scope.” · David Engel, New York University “…an important contribution to the evolving field of research on Jewish life in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Almost every chapter introduces new research on unexamined areas of postwar Jewish history… By framing the study in a broad comparative manner, the book is one of the first of its kind and will make for essential reading in the field.” · Avinoam Patt, University of Hartford
