Excellent read for another view of American Jewish historyBy LJMThis book is excellent reading for Jewish history for those who only think of the "east coast" Jewish history. My great-great grandmother and her in laws; who were my uncles (she married the brother of a dead husband) settled in Texas. I found one of the uncles mentioned in the book and there was a picture of him as well. I never knew about these people; so this book opened a window for me into my own personal history; as well as the life of people who thrived in Texas in tough times. I may never know about the people "left behind" in Europe and their fates; but at least I know more of the American story of my family and for that I am grateful to the authors and contributors of this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
