Although both groups were labeled "Jews," their internal definitions of what constituted being Jewish and their personal experiences were radically different. Using both archival and contemporary oral histories, Betty N. Hoffman traces the stories of real people whose lives and choices were affected by both their ethnic identity and the larger movements around them as they made new homes in the United States.SUNY Series in Oral and Public HistoryImmigrantsConnecticutHartfordHistory20th centuryJewsMigrationsJewsConnecticutHartfordHistory20th centuryJewsConnecticutHartfordIdentityJewsSoviet UnionHistoryJewsSoviet UnionIdentityJews, SovietConnecticutHartfordHartford (Conn.)Ethnic relationsSoviet UnionEthnic relationsImmigrantsHistoryJewsMigrations.JewsHistoryJewsIdentity.JewsHistory.JewsIdentity.Jews, Soviet974.6/3004924Hoffman Betty N1808970MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955838203321Jewish hearts4359506UNINA
