My grandfather is being referenced here (he passed when I was only 8 years old). I’m just curious about how American politics and American culture at the time affected him. I heard stories of his own encounters with antisemitism, but I’m not aware of the General history of antisemitism in the American south during the 1940s. Any info would be nice!
Off the top of my head I don't have anything specific about the American South (if I have time later I may look into it), but in the meantime you may be interested ina general piece I wrote on American antisemitism in the 1940s.
