The Lower East Side Jews: An Immigrant Generation

Many of the Jewish emigrants who fled Eastern Europe in the late 1800s settled in New York Cityâ‚¬s Lower East Side, establishing a vital and colorful subculture populated by laborers, radicals, actors, poets, peddlers, journalists, and intellectuals. This dramatic narrative captures the communityâ‚¬s torrent of ideological battles, the rise of organized labor in the garment industry, the growth of the Yiddish press and theater, and much more.
