Doing a paper about the Holocaust in American life. The main book I am using is, you guessed it, The Holocaust in American Life. But I need some primary sources, preferably survivors who traveled to the US after the war. Any recommendations?
Hi - we as mods have approved this thread, because while this is a homework question, it is asking for clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself, which is fine according to our rules. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.
As a result, we'd also like to remind potential answerers to follow our rules on homework - please make sure that your answers focus appropriately on clarifications and detailing the resources that OP could be using.
Additionally, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources in general. For instance, please check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which has a wealth of information that may be useful for finding and understanding information for your essay.
You might try scouring the bibliography of Hasia Diner’s We Remember with Reverence and Love. She looks some at letter and other primary sources by survivors.
Edit: speeches by Elie Wiesel would be easy to find as well. Really anything he wrote, even for public audience is telling of his post-Holocaust life.
