Join us for a reading, discussion, and book signing with Dr. Barbara Burstin, author of "Steel City Jews: In Prosperity, Depression and War - 1915-1950."
In this sequel to 2009's "Steel City Jews (1840-1915)," Dr. Burstin tells the story of Pittsburgh Jewry in an era of both triumph and tragedy. In the decade spent researching Steel City Jews, Dr. Burstin scoured attics and cellars, explored a variety of archival collections and books, and drew on personal interviews to weave her account of the city and its Jewish community. The discussion will be moderated by David M. Schlitt, director of the Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives.
This event is free and open to the public and does not include admission to the museum.
