As the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, Jewish history and its roots are very important to me. I grew up with two Jews parents and lived in a fairly Jewish community. However culture and community was more important than the religion itself. I always knew I was German and where my family came from and even know where my great grandparents were born in Germany. Nevertheless, I didn't know anything about the roots and orgins of Jews in the South of the United States.
In Ferris and Greenberg's Jewish Roots in Southern Soil introduction, the reader is introduced to the background and history of Jews migrating to the south. I thought the introduction was very informative and useful knowledge to set the scene for the rest of the book. The editors proved dates of migration and origins, which helped me develop an idea of who was voyaging the south and why. I belive this book will offer answers to difficult questions no one has answered before.
