However, for most of the 140,000 Jewish Displaced Persons (DPs) who immigrated to the United States from Europe in the years between 1946 and 1954, it was a much more complicated story. Case Closed challenges the prevailing optimistic perception of the lives of Holocaust survivors in postwar America by scrutinizing their first years through the eyes of those who lived it. The facts brought forth in this book are supported by case files recorded by Jewish social service workers, letters and minutes from agency meetings, oral testimonies, and much more. Cohen explores how the Truman Directive allowed the American Jewish community to handle the financial and legal responsibility for survivors, and shows what assistance the community offered the refugees and what help was not available. She investigates the particularly difficult issues that orphan children and Orthodox Jews faced, and examines the subtleties of the resettlement process in New York and other locales. Cohen uncovers the truth of survivors' early years in America and reveals the complexity of their lives as "New Americans." 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHolocaust survivors$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews, European$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJewish refugees$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aHolocaust survivors$xHistory 615 0$aJews, European$xHistory 615 0$aJewish refugees$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 676 $a304.8/73008992404 700 $aCohen$b Beth B.$f1950-$01044283 712 02$aUnited States Holocaust Memorial Museum. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451603003321 996 $aCase closed$92469831 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01351cam a2200289 i 4500 001 991002930319707536 008 71011s2000 it 001 0 ita d 020 $a9788846419026 035 $ab13604259-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to Scienze pedagogiche$bita 082 0 $a361.3 100 1 $aCima, Rosanna$0621476 245 10$aDentro le storie :$beducazione e cura con le storie di vita /$cRosanna Cima, Lorenzo Moreni, Maria Grazia Soldati ; prefazione di Anna Maria Piussi ; postfazione di Gabriel Maria Sala 260 $aMilano :$bF.
