How they lived: the everyday lives of Hungarian Jews 1867-1940 Volume 2

This second volume addresses the spiritual aspects and the lighter sides of the Hungarian Jews. Shows how they were raised as children, how they spent their leisure time, and received insights into their religious practices. There are many historical photographs-at least one picture per page-and the related text offers a virtual cross section of Hungarian society, a diverse group of the poor, the middle-class, and the wealthy. Regardless of whether they lived integrated within the majority society or in separate communities, whether they were assimilated Jews or Hasidim, they were an important and integral part of the nation.
