Series: Jews of Russia <http://www.academicstudiespress.com/borderlines-russian-and-east-european-jewish-studies> & Eastern Europe and Their Legacy ISBN: 9781618114181 (hardcover) Pages: 416 pp.; 25 b illus. Price: $69.00 USD Publication Date: September 2015 Summary: This volume provides for the first time a collection of writing that investigates the stories and struggles of survivors in the context of the Jewish resort culture of the Catskills, through new and existing works of fiction and memoir by writers who spent their youths there. It explores how vacationers, resort owners, and workers dealt with a horrific contradiction—the pleasure of their summer haven against the mass extermination of Jews throughout Europe. It also examines the character of Holocaust survivors in the Catskills: in what ways did people find connection, resolution to conflict, and avenues to come together despite the experiences that set them apart? The book will be useful to those studying Jewish, American, or New York history, the Holocaust and Catskills legacy, United States immigration, American literature, and American culture. The focus on themes of nostalgia, humor, loss, and sexuality will draw general readers as well.

Summer Haven sets the sharply rendered details of local history in a vital international context.” — Eric J. Sundquist, Andrew W.

[ha-Safran] Graphic Novel question
Hi All, This is the answer I sent to Rachel. What I would do is give the items the Elazar number that you feel is appropriate. In this case I would put them in 940. However, I would than create a section at the end of the adult section in which all adult graphic novels would go, perhaps with signage that this is a special section within my collection. That way you keep the numbers accurate which I think is important yet you now have the ability to keep all adult graphic novels together as well. Create a subject heading of Graphic Novels so that you can always see how many you have and where they are. That way you can set up your display.

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica subject headings
Weine Classification and Elazar are definitely not wastes of time. These classification schemes were specifically designed for Jewish libraries because LC and Dewey do not adequately cover subjects that can be unique to Jewish libraries. That is why the Library of Congress actually recognizes these schemes as legitimate and not a waste of time.
