Studies in eighteenth-century culture

"From East Baltimore to Forest Park to Park Heights, from Nates and Leon's deli to Hutzler's department store, Jewish Baltimore tells stories of neighborhoods, people, and landmarks that have been important to Baltimore's Jewish experience.". "Many of Sandler's essays invoke famous names in Baltimore history - names like Jack Pollack, the ex-boxer turned politician, Joseph Meyerhoff, who gave his city a symphony hall, Samuel Hecht, founder of the last surviving local department store chain. But just as often, these essays remind us of unsung heros, rabbis, merchants, teachers, and camp counselors."--BOOK JACKET.
