Remembering Chicago's Jews

A comprehensive reference work, Jim Finn’s Remembering Chicago’s Jews details the lives of well-known Jewish men and women of Chicago from 1832 to 1920.  Each entry works to recreate a life in miniature, highlighting how each individual contributed to a larger thread in the weaving of one of America’s great cities in its infancy. A must for serious scholars or general history-seekers, Finn’s work breathes fresh life into Chicago's early history and the ways prominent Jews shaped the course of the city's first century.
