Throughout the Holocaust, thousands of refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe sought healing and hope in Manhattan's neighborhood of Washington Heights, making it home to the world's largest German-Jewish community in the aftermath of the war. What did Washington Heights offer and how did this iconic community help these refugees become Americans? We hosted a presentation about this unique neighborhood, one that offered German and Austrian Jews, and other Survivors who followed later, the strength and resilience to overcome their inestimable loss.
