Case Closed

"Case Closed is a well-researched and clearly written volume that offers a powerful corrective to the common, somewhat rosy view of Holocaust survivors' experiences in the United States in the decade following World War II. As fine historical scholarship often does, Beth Cohen's work both illuminates and disturbs."

~Peter Hayes, Theodore Z. Weiss Professor of Holocaust Studies, Northwestern University

"This volume is an important work that fills a significant gap in the scholarly literature
about the aftermath of the Holocaust."

~Lawrence L. Langer, author of Holocaust Testimonies

"Case Closed offers an important re-examination of the ways in which Holocaust survivors adapted to life in America. Perhaps the most important contribution of this sympathetic, wellresearched study is that it manages to regard its subjects not only as members of a distinct group, but also as individual human beings."

~American Jewish Archives Journal

"A well-researched, eloquent, and extremely readable work. This book makes an important contribution to the field relating to the postwar experiences of survivors as well as to more specific issues concerning their postwar immigration and integration into American society."
