About this listen

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. Historian Robin Judd, whose grandmother survived the Holocaust and married an American soldier after liberation, introduces us to the Jewish women who lived through genocide and went on to wed American, Canadian, and British military personnel after the war.

If you're interested in the subject of war brides of World War 2, I'd recommend this. As far as I know, this is the only book specifically about Jewish war brides so I snapped it up the day it was released.

It is pretty academic though the author does follow a number of different women so you hear pieces of their stories, which provides a break from all the (interesting) facts.

Very interesting, albeit fairly academic
