Brownsville: Celebrating Hope, Hard Work, Tolerance & the Triumph of the Human Spirit

Autor Sylvia Siegel Schildt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2007
Recapture the daily life of immigrant Brownsville, Brooklyn where you heard Yiddish in the home, the street, the store, even on the radio. Here, against the backdrop of two world wars, the Holocaust, the birth of Israel, and other major world events, Jewish immigrants struggled to give their children the keys to a better life. How well they succeeded is self-evident. Why they succeeded becomes apparent as you explore the cultural riches that flourished alongside the grueling poverty a lesson for our time and future generations.
