Analyzes the lives of the immigrants and attitudes toward them, using the leading American Jewish weekly "The American Hebrew" as a principal source. Ch. 10 (pp. 219-246), "Anti-Semitism, " examines the reaction of American Jewry to antisemitism in 1879-1908. Not seriously affected by antisemitic incidents at home, nor by antisemitic insults in some American periodicals, they tried to defend their brethren abroad - in Russia, France, Germany, and other countries. In 1906 the American Jewish Committee was created for this purpose.
