The Dershowitz Family Saga traces the significant modern events for
world Jewry from the perspective of one immigrant family: their
Galician origins in the 19th century; their Americanization and
tribulations in the Goldene Medina; the tragedy of World War II and
the Holocaust; the establishment of the State of Israel; the fall
of communism; and the mass immigrations to Israel from Russia and
Ethiopia. It takes the reader from Pilzno to the Lower East Side,
from Brooklyn to Jerusalem. The aliyah of many family members
before, during, and after the Six-Day War led to their involvement
in the absorption of Ethiopian, Soviet, and former Crypto-Jews into
the nascent state. The intellectual and spiritual heritage of the
Dershowitz family is an American-Israeli success story. The
author's grandfather established the first Hassidic congregation in
Brooklyn; his father conceived Yeshiva Torah Vodaath; a brother
served on the European front but his gun ended up with the Haganah;
his nephew is the outspoken civil libertarian and advocate of
Israel, Alan Dershowitz. A fascinating journey around the world
through Zecharia Dor-Shav's unique lens.
