Katrina's Jewish Voices

Rosalind Hinton interviewed Julius Simon on July 14, 2007, in Lafayette, Louisiana as a part of the Katrina's Jewish Voices Project. Julius traces his family's New Orleans heritage, recounts his early 20th-century upbringing, service in World War II, encounters with antisemitism in the South, and post-Katrina evacuation to Lafayette, where he settled with his wife Mae after recovering from surgery.
