It is estimated that after World War II, 140,000 Holocaust survivors settled in the United States. These refugees, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years old, largely came to the United States due to efforts from HIAS, USNA, and other organizations. Once they arrived, these survivors worked to build new careers, start families, and find community among their neighbors. Even as they acclimated, survivors faced an uphill battle as they overcame language barriers, post-traumatic stress, and remaining antisemitic and xenophobic sentiments in America. Narrated by Rebecca Naomi Jones and featuring Hasia Diner, author of We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence After the Holocaust.
