Collected from the pages of the FORWARD, this handsome volume of photographs provides an account of Jewish life in America from lower eastside pushcarts, to Yiddish theater, to Polish Pogrom victims, to celebrities such as Bess Myerson, Sandy Koufax, and many more. Most of these images are extremely rare and some never before seen, and all are culled from the archives of THE FORWARD. Also included are original essays. "The soul of a great newspaper rises form these pages with a piercing vitality, and a whole world is discovered in these beautiful, heartbreaking, hilarious, mysterious, and occasionally mysitifying photos. This book is a great, unsettling, sensual, and intelligent joy." --Tony Kushner
