ISBN10: 0814319602, ISBN13: 9780814319604, [publisher: Wayne State University Press] Hardcover First Edition Frankfurt on the Hudson: The German Jewish Community of Washington Heights, 1933-83, Its Structure and Culture BY Steven M.Lowenstein, 1ST EDITION, 1989, hardcover in dustjacket. Published by Wayne State University Press; with a typed book review by award winning journalist Tom Tugend and a 5 x 7 ins photograph of the author. The 20,000 German Jews who fled Hitler's Germany and settled in Washington Heights were unusual in many ways. They preserved their Jewish identity while fostering a culture that was still heavily German-a difficult combination in light of their origins.In his study of this immigrant group, Steven Lowenstein strives for more that a chronicle of their institutions and leaders. He analyzes both the social structure of the community and the folk culture of the immigrants. He deals with such issues as the formal nature of German Jewish cultural style, the relationships between the generations, and intergroup relations. Using organizational bulletins, surveys, interviews, and personal observations and anecdotes, Lowenstein paints a picture of a unique lifestyle now in the process of merging into American Jewry and disappearing.
