On an unusu­al­ly sun­ny Feb­ru­ary after­noon in 2009, the well-known Ladi­no folk singer Flo­ry Jago­da drove me through the streets of Alexan­dria, Vir­ginia. I remem­ber lit­tle of the dri­ve to the metro sta­tion, but I recall ques­tion­ing my san­i­ty as the car sped through the streets, head­ing toward the yel­low line’s Brad­dock Sta­tion. Flo­ry Jago­da careened through the streets as I con­tin­ued to inter­view her.

A fresh perspective on the aftermath of trauma. Finding love and rebuilding lives after the Holocaust. Drawing on rich archival sources, historian Judd makes her book debut with a sensitive, well-researched history of marriages between survivors of the Holocaust and American, British, and Canadian military personnel. After World War II, some 200,000 women immigrated to the U.S. as soldiers’ wives, where they faced challenges of acculturation in a new country.
