If you're an East Coast Jew you should read this.

I never really understood the environment that my eastern European immigrant relatives lived in in the early 20th. century. This book, composed mainly of first person accounts and period photographs, has opened up their world to me. Focused mainly in the Northeast, it is a great historical document. I give it 4 stars because it could have better layout and organization.
