Full Description
This beautiful book tells the nostalgic tale of how millions of Jewish immigrants entered America through the portal of the Lower East Side. There in New York City
they struggled and ultimately flourished in a neighborhood that was the
center of Jewish work, family, and culture. For more than fifty years,
the Lower East Side spawned newly-mined Americans, including
entertainment icons like George Burns and Ira Gershwin, gangsters like
Meyer Lansky, and an extraordinary array of people who would go on to
transform American society.
