Golden Land The Story Of Jewish Immigration To America

For the Jews, America has always been a golden landÓ -- a safe haven from religious persecution & political inequality. The U.S. accepted Jews as citizens from the very beginning. At times prospects were meager & life was not without prejudice. Relive their trials & triumphs in this museum-in-a-book, which brings the history of American Jews alive through photos, removable letters, documents, & personal effects. Hold in your hand a New Year's greeting card from the early 1900s; appreciate the importance Jewish families placed on education for their children through multilingual posters promoting public schools; & read George Washington's letter thanking Jews for their patriotism during the Revolution & promising them fair & equal treatment.Telushkin, Joseph is the author of 'Golden Land The Story Of Jewish Immigration To America', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756780777 and ISBN 0756780772.
