Linda G. Arntzenius $21.99 Founded in 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study was conceived of high ideals for the future of America and its system of higher education, and was made possible by sibling philanthropists Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. Guided by education expert Abraham Flexner, the Bambergers created an independent institution devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. The Institute for Advanced Study opened its arms to scholars "without regard to race, creed, or sex." It provided a haven for Jewish intellectuals fleeing Nazi Germany, including Albert Einstein, who remained on the permanent faculty until his death in 1955, and became the intellectual home of such luminaries as J. Robert Oppenheimer, John von Neumann, Kurt Gödel, Marston Morse, Oswald Veblen, Hermann Weyl, Homer A. Thompson, Erwin Panofsky, George F. Kennan, Clifford Geertz, and Freeman Dyson. "Jewish Pioneers of the Black Hills Gold Rush " SD. Ann Haber Stanton $21.99 The very name Deadwood conjures up vivid Wild West images: saloons with swinging doors, brazen dance-hall girls, buckskin-clad Calamity Jane roaming the streets with her erstwhile paramour, Wild Bill Hickok. The setting is the lawless Dakota Territory of 1876 at the start of the Black Hills gold rush, a stampede for the golden pay dirt. One would hardly expect to find a Jewish pioneer grocer named Jacob Goldberg in this scene, yet Deadwood's story is incomplete without Goldberg. And Goldberg's story is incomplete without either Calamity Jane or Wild Bill. Not just Goldberg, but Finkelstein (also known as Franklin), Stern (also known as Star), Jacobs, Schwarzwald, Colman, Hattenbach, and many other Jews joined the throngs. The Jews provided much more than overalls, chamberpots, and the chambers in which to put them. They also became the mayors, legislators, and civic leaders who helped bring sense and stability to this unruly expanse. Those of you who, as I did, were excited by the portrayal of the Jewish mechant in the HBO Series 'Deadwood' the truth of an even more Jewish Deadwood will prove an added pleasure. "The New York City Triangle Factory Fire" NY. Leigh Benin, Rob Linne, Adrienne Sosin, Joel Sosinsky, HBO Documentary Films $21.99 Through historic images, "The New York City Triangle Factory Fire" honors the victims' sacrifice and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for the dignity of all working people. (Sorry not have gotten the word out about this title sooner.) PS: Also back in print: "Flatbush: The Heart of Brooklyn." Neda C.
