Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Waldoff's memoir delves into the experiences of his Russian Jewish parents and the Hattiesburg Jewish community from the 1920s to the 1960s. It highlights periods of acceptance and prosperity, juxtaposed with the community's fears of anti-Semitism, particularly following a murder conviction of a Jew, and the threat of Klan violence in response to a rabbi's stance against segregation. The narrative captures the complexities of identity and resilience within a fluctuating social landscape.
