Despite the centrality of family in both Jewish and Romani cultures, this is the first scholarly work to focus on the importance of the family in experiences of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Scholars from the US, Israel, and across Europe have contributed new research from the family perspective.

This volume provides new, groundbreaking views of Jewish life in the pro-Soviet bloc from the end of the Second World War until the collapse of Communism in late 1989 by recovering and analyzing the agency of Jews and their creativity in Communist Europe after the Holocaust.
