| Summary: | The essays assembled in this volume address a question for the most part neglected in Holocaust scholarship: How did survivors re-settle in their new countries in the aftermath of World War II? The Jewish displaced persons crisis in postwar Europe, culminating in the creation of the state of Israel, is traditionally seen as the chronological boundary of the Holocaust era. By exploring how Jewish survivors rebuilt (or did not rebuild) their lives in the first postwar decades, this volume modifies not only the timeframe of Holocaust history but also its geography: although much has been written about Holocaust survivors in Israel and the United States, there is a significant research gap with regard to Europe, South America, and Australia. |
