There is little documentation concerning the American Jewish women whose lives were changed by WWII.

This website features excerpts of longer interviews, describing the many new roles American Jewish women played as a result of the war, both on the home front and in the armed services, and how they reacted and adapted to adversity. JHSGNH volunteers interviewed and copied pictures and memorabilia from several of these women who live in the New Haven area, who are now in their mid 80’s to 90’s.

DVDs of the complete interviews are in the JHSGNH archives and available upon request.

The project was undertaken by the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven in conjunction with related projects of the Jewish Women's Archives. Brookline MA and the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford.
