Jewish War Brides and the Holocaust
Hosted By: National Museum of American Jewish Military History (NMAJMH - Washington, DC)
Historian Robin Judd joins us to discuss her new book: “Between Two Worlds: Jewish War Brides After the Holocaust.” Facing the harrowing task of rebuilding a life in the wake of the Holocaust, many Jewish survivors, community and religious leaders, and Allied soldiers viewed marriage between Jewish women and military personnel as a way to move forward after unspeakable loss. Proponents believed that these unions were more than just a ticket out of war-torn Europe. They would help the Jewish people repopulate after the attempted annihilation of European Jewry.
