New Lives: Survivors of the Holocaust Living in America.
[Judaica]. Rabinowitz, Dorothy. New Lives. Survivors of the Holocaust Living in America. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1976.
8vo.; ecru half-cloth, spine stamped in gilt; dust-jacket; fine.
First edition of Rabinowitz’s moving portrait of over 100 Holocaust survivors who managed to begin life again in the United States, described by Alfred Kazin as “a remarkable piece of creative reporting—evocative, perfectly controlled, sometimes deliciously dry, and ultimately a book that engulfs us in tragedy and heroism;” and by Irving Howe as “a tender and truthful book.” Howe adds, “The quiet control and restraint with which it has been composed makes all the more terrible the material it presents.” A presentation copy, inscribed on the front endpaper to New York bookseller Burt Britton: For Bert—With esteem and affection, both richly deserved. Dorothy Rabinowitz.
