New Lives: Survivors of the Holocaust Living in America

Plot

New Lives, is a portrait of those of the survivors who came to live in America. Out of its moving narrative, based on the personal stories of more than 100 people interviewed by the author, there emerges the first full scale account of what actually happened, in the days, months, and years after the liberation, to the ordinary Jewish men and women who lived through the imprisonment in the Nazi death camps. What is revealed here as emotions recur in story after story, as insistent themes reverberate-opens up a new perception of those who survived.
