Memories/Motifs is a digital extension of my dissertation
that traces the narratives of three different Holocaust survivors in
postwar America. The Holocaust stories of Kurt Meier, Irene Guttman,
and “Hannah” were told multiple times in a variety of media, including
radio, print, and performance.  The exhibit marks the changes in
narrative as each story was transformed from one media to another and
highlights themes of early Holocaust survivor representations such as
immigration, Americana, and children.

Explore by path to follow the transformation of Kurt, Irene, and "Hannah"'s stories or follow the trails of themes unique to early Holocaust survivor accounts.  You can also examine the variety of media employed in the late 1940s that transmitted survivor narratives to American audiences.

This work has been supported by the Maurice Amado Chair in Sephardic Studies at UCLA.
