Reviews
"The best portrait of a Jewish community in America since Irving Howe's World of Our Fathers . This book will speak for decades. With a remarkable and often quirky cast of characters from the coffee shops, synagogues, schools, and street corners of Squirrel Hill, Oppenheimer somehow tells the story of every Jewish American community. We come to know them as neighbors. We feel their joys, we recognize their troubles, and increasingly we mourn their antisemitic tragedies. Squirrel Hill is the masterpiece account of 21st century American Jewish life that I have been waiting for." --Michael Alexander, author of Jazz Age Jews
Synopsis
A piercing portrait of the struggles and triumphs of one of America's renowned Jewish neighborhoods in the wake of unspeakable tragedy that highlights the hopes, fears, and tensions all Americans must confront on the road to healing. Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, is one of the oldest Jewish neighborhoods in the country, known for its tight-knit community and the profusion of multigenerational families. On October 27, 2018, a gunman killed eleven Jews who were worshipping at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill--the most deadly anti-Semitic attack in American history. Many neighborhoods would be understandably subsumed by despair and recrimination after such an event, but not this one. Mark Oppenheimer poignantly shifts the focus away from the criminal and his crime, and instead presents the historic, spirited community at the center of this heartbreak. He speaks with residents and nonresidents, Jews and gentiles, survivors and witnesses, teenagers and seniors, activists and historians. Together, these stories provide a kaleidoscopic and nuanced account of collective grief, love, support, and revival. But Oppenheimer also details the difficult dialogue and messy confrontations that Squirrel Hill had to face in the process of healing, and that are a necessary part of true growth and understanding in any community. He has reverently captured the vibrancy and caring that still characterize Squirrel Hill, and it is this phenomenal resilience that can provide inspiration to any place burdened with discrimination and hate.
