Aufbau-a German-language weekly, published in New York and
circulated nationwide-was an essential platform for the generation
of refugees from Hitler and the displaced people and concentration
camp survivors who arrived in the United States after the war. The
publication served to link thousands of readers looking for friends
and loved ones in every part of the world. In its pages Aufbau
focused on concerns that strongly impacted this community in the
aftermath of World War II: anti-Semitism in the United States and
in Europe, the ever-changing immigration and naturalization
procedures, debates about the designation of Hitler refugees as
enemy aliens, questions about punishment for the Holocaust and
other Nazi crimes, the struggle for compensation and restitution,
and the fight for a Jewish homeland. The book examines the columns
and advertisements that chronicled the social and cultural life of
that generation and maintained a detailed account of
German-speaking cultures in exile. Peter Schrag is the first to
present a definitive account of the influential publication that
brought postwar refugees together and into the American mainstream.
