Jewish Historical Society of Memphis & The Mid-South
“The Jewish Historical of Memphis and the Mid-South recognized the urgency of capturing the past before it faded further. Its vision inspired the writing of this book, and its support has encouraged the project….The history of the Jewish community of Memphis is a chapter in the larger history of Jews in the United States. It is also a part of the history of Jews in the South. It differs from the other southern Jewish cities insofar as Memphis differs from her sister cities.”
—Selma S. Lewis |
