Remembering Jewish Amsterdam

"Philo Bregstein and Salvador Bloemgarten have composed a mosaic of the memories of seventy-seven "narrators" who talk about their lives in Amsterdam between 1900 and 1940. This oral story is divided into sections that deal with the many facets of their lives - the trades and professions, the unions and clubs, the synagogues, the neighborhoods and living conditions, music and sports - to give a view of life in Amsterdam during those years." "Salvador Bloemgarten has added a historical overview of the Jewish community in Amsterdam from the seventeenth century until the German occupation in 1940, describing how for centuries it was one of the most prominent in Western Europe."--Jacket.
