Recenzii

"Walter Roth's meticulous research brings alive in equal measure some of the best-known and least remembered, but fascinating, episodes in Chicago Jewish history. Roth clearly loves Chicago and its Jewish community."

Michael Feldberg, Executive Director, American Jewish Historical Society

"[Roth's] essays sparkle with gems that will interest scholars, researchers, and casual readers alike. The volume will contribute substantially to any first-rate college, synagogue, or household library." 
-- Mark A. Raider, Chair, Judaic Studies Dept., SUNY, Albany


"Readers ... will find themselves enthralled by Walter Roth's indispensable exploration of the intriguing role that one talented minority palyed - in the last century - in the evolution of one of the world's greatest cities."
-- Steven J. Whitfield, Max Richter Professor of American Civilization, Brandeis University
