Reared in a Yiddish-speaking socialist home committed to Jewish life in the diaspora, Dawidowicz dallied with Communism as a college student, became a staunch FDR Democrat in the 1930s, and then a committed liberal until the mid-1960s. Yet toward the end of her life, she identified as a neoconservative. Based on never-before used archives and oral interviews, From Left to Right argues that Dawidowicz's shift to the right was not predestined; it came out of the lived historical realities of prewar Poland, the trauma of watching the Holocaust unfold from New York, her work with Jewish refugees in postwar Germany, the creation of Holocaust consciousness-in which she played a major role-the rise of both Holocaust denial and antisemitism in the 1970s and 1980s, and her study of Jewish history. Indelibly shaped by Nazism and the Holocaust, Lucy Dawidowicz's life intersected with the central issues and personalities that shaped Jewish life in the twentieth century, and her story fills an essential gap in Jewish intellectual history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Dawidowicz, Lucy S. 600 17 $a Dawidowicz, Lucy S. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00013215 650 0 $a Jewish historians $z New York $z New York $v Biography. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Intellectuals $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Jews $z New York $z New York $x Intellectual life. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Jews $x Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983166 650 7 $a Jews $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 $a Jews $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983287 650 7 $a Judaism $x Modern period. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907048 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DD819BABC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
