Apropos nothing, I read half of this book over the holiday weekend. It is a story I knew little about. For one thing, I thought the German Jews who lorded over the later immigrating Eastern European Jews were aristocrats from birth. I didn't realize that they also, for the most part, arrived in steerage and got started peddling on foot through the American countryside.
