Between the Lines: Between Two Worlds
Part of Between the Lines: Author Conversations from The Library of JTS
Facing the harrowing task of rebuilding a life in the wake of the Holocaust, many 绿帽社 survivors, community and religious leaders, and Allied soldiers viewed marriage between 绿帽社 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 绿帽社 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 绿帽社 women who lived through genocide and went on to wed American, Canadian, and British military personnel after the war.
