Published in association with the Jewish Historical Society of Memphis & the Mid-South

by Selma S. Lewis

Narrating the life of Jews in Memphis from the antebellum period through the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Lewis artfully blends discussions of the Jewis community's proactive impact on the city's development with their reactions to events local, national, and international. She vividly highlights their roles in and responses to the Civil War, late nineteenth-century immigration, Zionism, the World Wars, the Holocaust, and the civil rights movement. The result is an important work of Jewish, American, and Southern religious history.
