The Jewish population of postwar Romania was close to 400,000, second only to the Soviet Union in size, yet remarkably little has been written about Jewish life and survivor experience in the decades following the war. Indeed, the general narrative of postwar Romanian Jewry has long been interpreted as fundamentally transitory, an interim period wedged between the massive bookends of destruction and a new life in Israel or elsewhere. Julie Dawson’s project explores this time from the perspective of Blanka Lebzelter, a young woman originally from Bukovina, using her recently discovered German-language diaries. This lecture introduces the diary author and her life and positions her story within the context of postwar Romania, using JDC archival material to contextualize the macro picture in which Lebzelter’s narrative unfolds. Divider Julie Dawson is a doctoral candidate at the Institute for Contemporary History of the University of Vienna. Her dissertation examines postwar Jewish life in Romania through the lens of recently found German-language diaries of a Transnistrian survivor. Dawson has worked extensively in and with Romanian archival repositories, directing the Leo Baeck Institute’s archival survey of Transylvania and Bukovina from 2012-2019. She held a Fortunoff Fellowship at the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute from 2020-2021 and currently holds a doctoral grant from the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah (2022-2024). She is co-editor of /Precarious Archives, Precarious Voices: Expanding Jewish Narratives from the Margins/ and has published in, amongst others, /European Holocaust Studies Vol. 3: Places Spaces and Voids in the Holocaust and Quest. Issues in Contemporary Jewish History/. She is a recipient of a 2023 Fred and Ellen Lewis/JDC Archives Fellowship.
