Fülszöveg


In medieval Spain and Portugal, to which they trace their ancestry, the Sephardic Jews considered themselves the elite. In the United States
they still do.
From the arrival of twenty-three Sephardim in 1654, the impact of this wandering band of exiles on America has been immense. They made fortunes in the fur trade long before theAstors, they dealt in slaves, they lent money to the infan t Republic, they joined the ISavy, the Army, High Society. They managed to combine assimilation with a stubborn Orthodoxy They were horrified when the hordes of their German — and later their Eastern European — co-religionists descended on the New World. To this day they have remained aloof
Stephen Birmingham, who chronicled the German Jewish society of New York with such power and success in WR CROWD', here presents a tapestry of extraordinary Americans, spiced with gossip and the gentle rattling of family skeletons, a portrait of a proud, haughty — and quite fascinating—people.
