Voices from the Tenements

Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning

Portraits of turn-of-the-20th-century Jewish immigrants vividly come to life in the works of fiction writers who described their struggles with poverty, religious conflicts, antisemitism, and cultural adaptation. Dr. Shana Mauer explores the contributions of Abraham Cahan, Mary Antin, and Anzia Yezierska, central figures in early 20th-century American Jewish literature.
