The book review of Schalom Asch continues. Personal family notices include names such as Steiner, Hirsch, Rosenblatt, Tempelberg as one would expect amongst Jewish immigrants. Religious events in the synagogues are shown and the European Jewish Artist Society advertises an entertainment evening in cozy surroundings.
