Homemaking as Home-in-the-Making

The article will discuss the home and housework in German-Jewish emigration. Based on memoirs, periodicals, guidebooks, and interviews, it will explore the home of German-Jewish migrants as a place of interaction (between the individual immigrants, the immigrant community, and the receiving society), intervention (of absorbing institutions, advertisers, social workers, the Jewish community), and of renegotiation of the very construction of homemaking and homemakers.
