Absorbing Encounters: Constructing American Jewry in the Post-Holocaust Decades

This conference seeks to bring together scholars of literature, film studies, history, ethnography and related fields to examine how the American Jewish community in the post-Holocaust era was shaped by its encounter with literary relics, living refugees, and other cultural productions which grew out of an encounter with Eastern European Jewish life from the pre-Holocaust era.
