This volume provides for the first time a collection of writing
that investigates the stories and struggles of survivors in the
context of the Jewish resort culture of the Catskills, through new
and existing works of fiction and memoir by writers who spent their
youths there. It explores how vacationers, resort owners, and
workers dealt with a horrific contradiction - the pleasure of their
summer haven against the mass extermination of Jews throughout
Europe. It also examines the character of Holocaust survivors in
the Catskills: in what ways did they people find connection,
resolution to conflict, and avenues to come together despite the
experiences that set them apart? The book will be useful to those
studying Jewish, American, or New York history, the Holocaust and
Catskills legacy, United States immigration, American literature,
and American culture. The focus on themes of nostalgia, humor,
loss, and sexuality will draw general readers as well.
