Oral history interview with Irene Hutton

Oral History | Accession Number: 2011.130.2 | RG Number: RG-50.656.0001

Irene Hutton discusses her family history in Germany; the lives of assimilated Jews in prewar Germany; different views on what is means to be Jewish among Jews; her experience with American antisemitism; and her first postwar trip back to Germany where at the Frankfurt airport she was “struck dumb” and lost the ability to speak German as a reaction to perceived German arrogance.


Some video files begin with 10-60 seconds of color bars.
