Many of the Jewish emigrants who fled Eastern Europe in the late 1800s settled in New York City’s Lower East Side; establishing a vital and colorful subculture populated by laborers; radicals; actors; poets; peddlers; journalists; and intellectuals. This dramatic narrative captures the community’s torrent of ideological battles; the rise of organized labor in the garment industry; the growth of the Yiddish press and theater; and much more. "An exemplary account"—The New York Times. 29 photographs.
