Rischin paints a vivid picture of Jewish life in New York at the
turn of the century. Here are the old neighborhoods and crowded
tenements, the Rester Street markets, the sweatshops, the birth of
Yiddish theatre in America, and the founding of important Jewish
newspapers and labor movements. The book describes, too, the city's
response to this great influx of immigrants--a response that marked
the beginning of a new concept of social responsibility.
