About this ebook
The stirring story of the economic and cultural struggles of the eastern European immigrants to the United States in the early 1900's, as witnessed through the lives and contributions of eleven different men. Their contributions in politics, education, trade-unionism, philosophy, poetry and drama helped to shape the pattern of the Jewish community. Originally published in 1965 by Wayne State University Press, this edition contains a new introduction by Jacob Neusner.
