Synopsis

A unique presentation of the history of Jewish life and culture in the United States over the past 500 years. Jews in America is a graphic history that uses the comic book format -- an artistic expression as American as jazz -- to depict five centuries of Jewish life in America. With a blend of humor, history, and old-fashoned sentimentality, the author illustrates the prominence of Jews in U.S. history from the time Columbus first set foot in the New World.
