A Holocaust-era program investigating how being Jewish affects American Jews’ lives, attempting to describe and analyze the social situation for Jews in 1941, the middle of WWII. “It should not be inferred that antisemitism and other barriers are the only factors which keep the Jewish group from disappearing. Much of the Jewish social and economic concentration is kept up by Jews as a matter of habit and tradition. However, many of these bonds seem to be losing their effectiveness for young American Jews, since such Jewish interests have no prestige-value in general American society. ” Avukah was an educational and cultural student Zionist organization on college campuses across America.
