A Story of Jewish Experience in Mississippi
In this memoir, Waldoff searches into his Russian-Jewish parents' experience and that of the Jewish community in Hattiesburg from the 1920s through the 1960s, revealing times of acceptance and prosperity, but also of fears of anti-Semitism when a Jew is convicted of murder and fears of Klan violence when a rabbi speaks out against segregation.
