  • Descrição: The following investigation into their activities and motivations (distinct from others in their immigrant cohort), offers a window into processes of homemaking and memory construction that echoed through the lives of a broader community of mid-century Jewish immigrants to the United States. In Czechoslovakia, this ideology was meant to have offered Jews, as a collectivity, an opportunity to profess loyalty to their state as citizens and to find there unambiguous welcome as the Jews of Czechoslovakia.2 During the war, Czech-Jewish activists advocated for the Jewish national minority of Czechoslovakia from the safety of American and British exile.3 The elimination of national minority rights in postwar Czechoslovakia, the reemergence there of Jewish communities that could represent themselves, and an appreciation of wartime losses engendered a shift in the orientation of America's Czech-Jewish activists towards memory work.4 As they grew more comfortable in the United States and abandoned national-minority politics, they developed an idiosyncratic diasporic subjectivity. Where may we find analogous cases and, considered together, what might we learn from them? IMMIGRATION Until November 8, 1943, the US government used "Hebrew" as a category of "race or people" to track immigration. The total number of Czechoslovak-born immigrants between July 1932 and 1944 was 17,418, with an additional 7,445 entering on non-immigrant visas.12 Nancy Wingfield characterized this Jewish immigrant cohort as "overwhelmingly middle- and upper-class, educated, acculturated and/or assimilated, primarily young through middle-aged adults, mainly Jews from [Bohemia and Moravia].
