Book excerpt: The landsmanshaften, organizations named after their old world origins, were a significant part of the immigrant experience. The Chicago segment was part of a universal manifestation from 1880-1980, which included European and Asian immigrants. These voluntary associations, both independent and secular, served each ethnic group with a wide variety of critical services during a stressful time of alienation and adjustment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating portrait of family and community life among Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, prepared in the 1930s through the WPA Federal Writers' Project, is published here in English for the first time.

Rontch, conducted an ambitious study of some 2,500 landsmanshaftn, associations of Jewish immigrants from the same hometown that played an important role in helping newcomers adjust to life in America. The results of the survey, an incomparable source for the study of Jewish immigration history, were disseminated in two Yiddish volumes in 1938 and 1939; however, the project ended before this abridged English version could be published.
