Funded Activity Summary

Familial Separation, Emotions, and Jewish Child Refugees, 1933-1945. Drawing upon largely untapped wartime sources from refugee youth, this project aims to produce the first sustained study of the lived experiences and memories of Nazi era Jewish unaccompanied child refugees to the United States. It expects to generate new knowledge by tracing the links between children, emotions, and mobility; the role of ideas about the family in shaping immigration policies; and the emergence of Holocaust survivor identities. The expected benefit of this work includes advancing academic and public understanding of how age, emotions and mobility can broaden our understanding of the Holocaust experience, child migration, and familial separation.
