Jews, Germans, and Allies draws upon the wealth of diary and memoir literature by the people who lived through postwar reconstruction to trace the conflicting ways Jews and Germans defined their own victimization and survival, comprehended the trauma of war and genocide, and struggled to rebuild their lives. In gripping and unforgettable detail, Atina Grossmann describes Berlin in the days following Germany's surrender--the mass rape of German women by the Red Army, the liberated slave laborers and homecoming soldiers, returning political exiles, Jews emerging from hiding, and ethnic German refugees fleeing the East. She chronicles the hunger, disease, and homelessness, the fraternization with Allied occupiers, and the complexities of navigating a world where the commonplace mingled with the horrific. Grossmann untangles the stories of Jewish survivors inside and outside the displaced-persons camps of the American zone as they built families and reconstructed identities while awaiting emigration to Palestine or the United States. She examines how Germans and Jews interacted and competed for Allied favor, benefits, and victim status, and how they sought to restore normality--in work, in their relationships, and in their everyday encounters. Jews, Germans, and Allies shows how Jews were integral participants in postwar Germany and bridges the divide that still exists today between German history and Jewish studies. 410 0$aACLS Fellows' Publications. 517 3 $aClose encounters in occupied Germany 606 $aJews$zGermany$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aHolocaust survivors$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zGermany$xHistory$y1945-1990 607 $aGermany$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aHolocaust survivors$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xHistory 676 $a940.53 676 $a940.531814 700 $aGrossmann$b Atina$0313104 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248319303316 996 $aJews, germans and allies$9716053 997 $aUNISA
