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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Dawidowicz, Lucy S. 650 0 Jewish historians |zNew York (State) |zNew York |vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xHistoriography. 650 0 Intellectuals |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Jews |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xIntellectual life. 650 0 Jews |zUnited States |xPolitics and government |y20th century. 651 0 New York (N.Y.) |xIntellectual life |y20th century. 651 0 United States |xPolitics and government |y20th century. 600 17 Dawidowicz, Lucy S. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00013215 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Jews |xPolitics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983330 650 7 Jewish historians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00982793 650 7 Intellectuals. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975799 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 Historiography. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 Jews |xCivilization. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983166 650 7 Jews |xIdentity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 Jews |xIntellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983287 650 7 Judaism |xModern period. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907048 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 New York (State) |zNew York. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204333 600 17 Dawidowicz, Lucy S. |d1915-1990. |2gnd |0(DE-588)11897257X 600 17 Dawidowicz, Lucy S. |2nli 650 7 Jewish historians |zNew York (State) |zNew York |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xHistoriography. |2nli 650 7 Intellectuals |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xHistory |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 Jews |zNew York (State) |zNew York |xIntellectual life. |2nli 650 7 Jews |zUnited States |xPolitics and government |y20th century. |2nli 651 7 New York (N.Y.) |xIntellectual life |y20th century. |2nli 651 7 United States |xPolitics and government |y20th century. |2nli 650 7 HISTORY / Asia / General. |2bisacsh 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 648 7 1900-2099 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS115.9.D39 |iS56 2020
