- Description
- George W. Dawson's paper "From Kharkov to Crozet," presented to the SPHEX Club, discusses U.S. immigration policy juxtaposed with the personal histories of Zhanna and Frina Arshanskaya, survivors of the Holocaust. Dawson explores historical U.S. ambivalence towards immigration, from open borders in the 17th century to restrictive laws in the 20th century. His dramatic family story illustrates broader themes of national identity and policy impact, emphasizing shifts in public opinion and policy in response to global and domestic challenges.
