Migration is, and has always been, a disruptive experience. Freedom
from oppression and hope for a better life are counter-balanced by
feelings of loss - loss of family members, of a home, of personal
belongings. Memories of the migration process itself often fade
quickly away in view of the new challenges that await immigrants in
their new homelands. This volume asks, and shows, how migration
memories have been kept, stored, forgotten, and indeed retrieved in
many different archives, in official institutions, and in heritage
centres, as well as in personal and family collections. Based on a
variety of examples and conceptual approaches - from artistic
approaches to the family archive via 'smell and memory as
archives', to a cultural history of the suitcase - this volume
offers a new and original way to write Jewish history and the
history of Jewish migration in the context of personal and public
memory. The documents reflect the transitory character of the
migration experience, and they tell stories of longing and
belonging. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Jewish Culture and History.
