This book, originally published as The Old East Side, is a collection of literature and documents ranging from the autobiography of the sculptor Jacob Epstein and the novels of Abraham Cahan to the reporting of William Dean Howells and the fictional reconstruction of a vanished world by Henry Roth. The world is that of the old shtetl transplanted to a new, growing country, where "the ghetto" (in the years 1881-1924) was an unstable mixture of nostalgic elements and the pressures of American economic and social reality.The productivity, both intellectual and material, of the section of New York known as the East Side during those forty years around the turn of the twentieth century has become a legend among many Jews in this country and deserves to become better known to many more of other ethnic origins. The lower East Side was paradoxically a wilderness to be traversed and a portion of that "promised land" which had been glimpsed with so much hope from afar. To wonderfully talented and observant children, like Jacob Epstein, the streets there in the 1880s were as filled with excitement as those of the Arabian Nights. To serious philosophic young men like Morris Raphael Cohen, they were as challenging as the marketplace of Athens had once been to Socrates to achieve intellectual enlightenment and the improvement of the social order.The conditions of abominable crowding and poverty described in the sociological tracts of Jacob Riis, Lillian Wald, and others are better known perhaps to the average reader than the accounts of such pleasures as the dancing schools, the Yiddish theaters, the cafes, the lectures, the literary ferment and activities, described in the pages of Abraham Cahan and Hutchins Hapgood. But all the views presented in The Jewish East Side, both dark and bright, are recognizably parts of the same picture. This book will be of value to sociologists, historians, researchers specializing in Judaic studies, and students of literature.

Coming of age during the British Invasion of the early 1960s, Ron West was inspired to pursue a career in music. His interest in bands like the Beatles influenced the formation of the Chesmann and Chesmann Square-popular Kansas City area bands that survived for a decade and included his two younger brothers, Steve and Gary. Then, in 1977, West formed a new band, Missouri, which through the help of well-known concert promoter Chris Fritz, went on to record two studio albums and earned him accolades in the music industry. In record bins at music stores throughout Missouri and surrounding states, music aficionados still come upon a unique Missouri album that resonates with the dreams of several Kansas City area musicians. Their first album, printed in monochrome, features the Gateway Arch from St. Louis standing amongst the desolation of a southwestern desert vista, representing the creative vision of Ron West. His legacy now carries forth through a new iteration of Missouri comprised of original and new members continuing to perform these classic songs. Movin' On is the story of Ron West, highlighting his beginnings in a working-class family in south Kansas City to paying his dues as a musician who aspired to cross the threshold to rock and roll stardom.

The Rockingham Weekly Register began publication in July 1822. Although not many of the earliest issues have survived, those that have were tracked down by the author in the collections of the University of Virginia, Duke University, historical societies, private collectors, and local family members. During its lifetime, the Rockingham Weekly Register, generally referred to as the Rockingham Register, enjoyed wide circulation throughout the Shenandoah Valley, including parts of what is now West Virginia. The author has arranged all surnames she found in the marriage notices in alphabetical order: the bride's maiden name is followed by a cross-reference to the groom's surname; the groom's name is followed by a transcription of the notice itself. Entries typically give the date and place of the wedding; the name of the priest performing the ceremony; the full name of the groom and his place of residence; the full name of the bride, her place of residence and the full name of her father. The author has added the date the notice appeared in the Register, plus the page and column numbers.

Der Chiemsee verzaubert. Mal sanft, mal stürmisch zieht das Bayerische Meer Einheimische wie Urlauber in den Bann. Seine pittoreske Schönheit begeisterte einst schon die berühmten Chiemseemaler. Heute erfreut er Wassersportler genauso, wie Kulturinteressierte oder Naturbeobachter. Für die einen bedeutet der Chiemsee Freizeit und Erholung, anderen sichert er als Arbeitsplatz die Lebensgrundlage. Die Autorin Kerstin Riemer und die Fotografin Carina Pilz tauchen ein, in den See und seine Geschichten. Mit Wasser auf der Haut, Wind in den Haaren und köstlichem Fisch auf der Zunge richten sie den Blick auf das weite Blau. Sie erkunden das Bayerische Meer und seine vielen Gesichter, schaffen eine Verbindung zwischen maritimem Flair und oberbayerischen Traditionen. Von einsamen Stunden im Fischerboot bis hin zu überfüllten Chiemseestränden im Hochsommer, vom Leben in der kleinsten Gemeinde Bayerns bis hin zu majestätischen Arbeitsplätzen erzählen sie in emotionalen Worten und Bildern vom wohl facettenreichsten Gewässers des Landes - dem Chiemsee.

Während der Fußball-Europameisterschaft werden im Sommer 2024 Millionen von einheimischen und auswärtigen Fußball-Fans in Deutschland unterwegs sein, um sich die Spiele in den Stadien anzuschauen oder auf den Fan-Meilen gemeinsam zu feiern.Die zehn Städte, in denen die EM-Spiele ausgetragen werden - Berlin, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Köln, Leipzig, München, Stuttgart -, haben ihren Besucherinnen und Besuchern aber viel mehr zu bieten als die Stadien und Public Viewing Areas. Sascha Kurzock hat sich ein Jahr lang auf die Suche nach den besonderen Fußball-Orten in den Ausrichterstädten gemacht. Über besondere 100 Orte für Fußball-Fans hat er ausfindig gemacht, die in diesem Reiseführer mal länger, mal nur als Steckbrief vorgestellt werden: Orte zum Schlemmen und Genießen von Poldis Döner-Imbiss bis zur gehobenen Küche, zum Übernachten mit ganz viel Fußball-Tradition, zum Shoppen von Devotionalien aller Art, zum Bestaunen und Anfassen von Fußballgeschichte, zum Verstehen der lokalen Fußballkultur oder einfach nur zum besseren Kennerlernen der Städte hinter ihren Fassaden.Sascha Kurzrock spricht mit den Menschen, die diese Orte erst ausfüllen, und so gelingt es ihm, seine Tipps mit kurzweiligen, liebenswerten Geschichten zu verbinden.

Was in den Jahren 1933-1945 - auch in Frankfurt am Main - zu Bruch gegangen ist, insbesondere durch Verfolgung, Vertreibung und Vernichtung von jüdischen Mitbürgern, diese Brüche werden nie verheilen."Alles zusammenzutragen, was das Wort und die Schrift aufbewahrt hatten, all jene mit ihren Büchern wieder einzubürgern, die vertrieben und verbrannt worden waren" (Rachel Salamander) - das versuchen ansatzweise die hier vorgestellten ,Bruchstücke'. Auch in der Hoffnung, "die Geschichte, die abgebrochen und nur noch in Spuren zu fassen ist" (Aleida Assmann), zu bewahren.Selbst wenn die ,Bruchstücke' zusammen gesehen nur ein lückenhaftes Mosaik ergeben, spiegeln sie doch den Glanz verlorener deutsch-jüdischer Kultur in Frankfurt am Main wider.
