The Other Jews: Portraits in Poverty par Rabinowitz
A histoy of poor Jewish Families in America
If you think witch hunts died out with Salem, you need only read this book to realize they continue on. We no longer call them witches or burn people at the stake. However, the singleminded pursuit by so-called experts easily creates the same type of mass hysteria found in witch hunts.
In the mid '80s, I was a new mother living in my home state of Massachusetts when the nursery school sexual abuse epidemics began.
